A boat floating in fresh water displaces water weighing 32.2 kN. (a) What is the weight of the water this boat displaces when floating in salt water of density 1.14 × 103 kg/m3? (b) What is the absolute value of the difference between the volume of fresh water displaced and the volume of salt water displaced?

Chapter 14, Problem 041 What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats in (a) the ocean (salt water, density 1024 kg/m3) and (b) in a river (fresh water, density 998 kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to a community.)

The envelope and basket of a hot-air balloon have a combined weight of 2.36 kN, and the envelope has a capacity (volume) of 2.29 x 103 m3. When it is fully inflated, what should be the temperature of the enclosed air to give the balloon a lifting capacity (force) of 2.64 kN (in addition to the balloon's weight)? Assume that the surrounding air, at 20.0°C, has a weight per unit volume of 11.9 N/m3 and a molecular mass of 0.0280...

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.32% of her volume above the surface? (This could be measured by placing her in a tank with marks on the side to measure how much water she displaces when floating and when held under water.) (Give your answer to at least three significant figures.) What percent of her volume is above the surface when she floats in seawater?
