If a person's body has a density of $995 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$, what fraction of the body will be submerged when floating gently in (a) freshwater? (b) In salt water with a density of $1027 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} ?$
If the human body has an average density of 975 kg/mÂł, what fraction of a person is submerged when floating gently in fresh water? submerged fraction: 0.955 What fraction of a person is submerged when floating gently in salt water, which has a density of 1027 kg/mÂł? submerged fraction: 0.927

If your body has a density of 995 kg/m3, what fraction of you will be submerged when floating gently in Freshwater? In the last question, you found what fraction of you will be submerged when floating gently in Freshwater. If your mass is 75.0 kg, then find the buoyant force.
