what is the magnitude of the force (in N) required to hold a body of volume 0.05 m3 and mass 40 kg in water (density 1000 kg/m3) at a depth of 0.1 m is (g = 9.81 m/s2)?
Added by Beatriz W.
Step 1
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body. The formula for buoyant force (F_b) is given by: F_b = Ļ_water Ć V_body Ć g where: Ļ_water = density of water = 1000 kg/mĀ³ V_body = volume of the body = 0.05 mĀ³ g = acceleration due to Show moreā¦

'Some fish have a density slightly less than that of water and must exert a force (swim) to stay submerged. What force must an 85.0-kg grouper exert to stay submerged in salt water if its body density is 1015 kg/m3?'
