Question

Use g = 9.80 m / s2 and density of salt water = 1.025 x 103 kg / m3 A fish has a density slightly less than that of water and must exert a downward force to stay submerged. Calculate the magnitude of the force that an 85.0-kg fish must exert to stay submerged in salt water, if the density of its body is 1015 kg / m3.

Step 1

Given that density of the fish = 1015 kg/m^3 and mass of the fish = 85.0 kg. Using the formula: mass = density x volume, we can rearrange it to find the volume: volume = mass / density. Plugging in the values, volume = 85.0 kg / 1015 kg/m^3 = 0.08375 m^3. Show more…
