In a total-immersion measurement of a woman’s density, she is found to have a mass of 63.5 kg in air and an apparent mass of 0.0875 kg when completely submerged with lungs almost totally empty.
What mass, in kilograms, of water does she displace?
What is her volume, in cubic meters?
Calculate her average density, in kilograms per cubic meter.
If her lung capacity is 1.75 L, is she able to float without treading water with her lungs filled with air? Assume the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3.
