If a 106.5 kg man stands on a scale while he is totally submerged in water (water density = 997 kg/m³), and the scale reads 45 N, what is the volume of his body in litres (L, give your answer with 1 decimal point)? (assume g = 9.81 m/s?, you need to do a force balance like the question in the workshop but the differences are that there is only one liquid here and the man is not floating)
