Question:

Suppose a 60.0-kg woman floats in freshwater with 97.0% of her volume submerged when her lungs are full of air. What is her average density?

Strategy
We can find the woman’s density by solving the equationfraction submerged = Pobj Pfl

for the density of the object. This yieldsPobj = Pperson = (fraction submerged).Pfl.

We know both the fraction submerged and the density of water, and so we can calculate the woman’s density.
