Question
(a) A 75.0-kg man floats in freshwater with 3.00% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 5.00% of his volume above water when his lungs are full. Calculate the volume of air he inhales-called his lung capacity-in liters. (b) Does this lung volume seem reasonable?
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 3Here the mass of the man is
The fraction of the volume of the man above water when his lungs are empty is
Therefore the fraction submerged is
Hence from the equation 11.41, the defination of fraction submerged is
Hence, we get
Hence, the volume of the body of the man is
The fraction of the volume of the man above water when his lungs are full with air is
Therefore the fraction submerged is
