For an average human, the actual values of the densities of the fat and lean tissues...

For an average human, the actual values of the densities of the fat and lean tissues are ρf = 0.9 g/cm3, and ρl = 1.1 g/cm3 respectively (fat tissue =ρf and lean tissue =ρl). Given these values, are there limitations on the body fat percentage of a human that can be suspended in a body of water? Explain your thoughts and calculate the limits if any.

HINT:

  • What are the maximum and minimum possible densities of a human? Is it possible for objects with each of these densities to be suspended in (as opposed to floating on top of) water?

PLEASE PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION
