A 6.0 kg freshwater fish at the surface of a lake is neutrally buoyant.If the density of its body with its swim bladder deflated is 1060 kg/m3, what volume of gas must be in the swim bladder for the fish to be neutrally buoyant? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Solutions
Expert Solution
According to the balance between the buoyant force and the
weight of the fish, we require the weight of the gas in the swim
bladder plus the weight of the displaced water due to the volume of
the fish ( this is the buoyant force acting upward) to be equal to
the weight of the fish + plus the weight of the gas in the swim
bladder. So, we have
Now for
we have
Now putting the given values, we get

A)The change of fish density is provided by the gas of
negligible density in the fish bladder. If fish body density is

Straight wooden rod of mass 6.0 kg, uniform cross-section 7
cm2, and constant density 700 kg has a very small mass
0.8 kg attached to its one end. The rod is partially submerged in
water of density 990kg/m3. While in
equilibrium, the rod floats in a vertical position with large part
of it submerged. The rod is then pushed down by distance
ymax from equilibrium and released resulting in its
oscillation neat the surface of teh water.
