Question
A toy duck is floating on the water. The average density of the duck is ρd = 860 kg/m3, while the density of water is ρ = 1.0 x 103 kg/m3. The volume of the duck is Vd = 0.000105 m3.
Express the weight of the duck, W, in terms of ρd and Vd.
Calculate the numerical value of W in Newtons.
Express the magnitude of the buoyant force, F, in terms of ρ and the volume of water that the duck displaces, Vw.
