You have probably noticed that carrying a person in a pool of water is much easier than carrying a person through air. To understand why, find the buoyant force exerted by air and by water on the person. Assume the average volume of a person is 0.45 m3, and that the person is submerged in air and water respectively.
Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate the density of a fluid as well as that of a solid. Suppose a chunk of iron with a mass of 390.0 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 350.5 g when completely submerged in an unknown liquid. (a) What mass of fluid does the iron displace? (b) What is the volume of iron, using its density as given Table 14.1? (c) Calculate the fluid's density and identify it.
A spherical submersible 2.00 m in radius, armed with multiple cameras, descends under water in a region of the Atlantic Ocean known for shipwrecks and finds its first shipwreck at a depth of 1.75 103 m.
