Calculate the buoyant force due to the surrounding air on a man weighing 600 N . Assume his average density is the same as that of water. Suppose that the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3.

Answer:

[tex]F_b= 0.720 N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Weight [tex]W=600N[/tex]

Average density [tex]\rho=1.20kg/m^3[/tex]

Mass

[tex]m=\frac{W}{g}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{600}{9.81}[/tex]

[tex]m=61.22kg[/tex]

Generally the equation for Volume is mathematically given by

[tex]V =\frac{ mass}{density}[/tex]

[tex]V= \frac{61.22}{1000}[/tex]

[tex]V=0.06122 m^3[/tex]

Therefore

Buoyant force [tex]F_b[/tex]

[tex]F_b=\rho*V*g[/tex]

[tex]F_b= rho_air*V*g[/tex]

[tex]F_b= 0.720 N[/tex]
