bulb of a constant-volume gas thermometer (corrected for dead space, thermal
expansion of bulb, etc.) when the bulb is immersed in a water triple-point cell. The
bottom row represents the corresponding readings of pressure when the bulb is
surrounded by a material at a constant unknown temperature. Calculate the ideal-

This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.
Calculate the average density of the following astronomical body:
Jupiter.

Suppose we want to estimate how much air we need to send to a space station, assuming we cannot recycle air. Suppose four astronauts are in a spherical space station.

What is the volume of air you would need in the space station if these four astronauts stayed for a full year? b.
