In Eq. 7.14, it is assumed that the density of the animal is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is submerged. If the situation is reversed, the immersed animal tends to rise to the surface, and it must expend energy to keep itself below the surface. How is Eq. 7.14 modified for this case?
similar to the hovering flight we discussed in Chapter 6, but our approach to
the problem will be different.
Because a fraction f of the animal is submerged, the animal is buoyed up
by a force FB given by
FB = 8f Vpu
(7.9)
where py is the density of water. The force Fg is simply the weight of the
displaced water.
The net downward force FR on the animal is the difference between its
weight g Vp and the buoyant force; that is,
Fp = gVp- gVfpw= gV(p- fPw)
(7.10)
To keep itself floating, the animal must produce an upward force equal to
Fp. This force can be produced by pushing the limbs downward against the
water. This motion accelerates the water downward and results in the upward
reaction force that supports the animal.
If the area of the moving limbs is A and the final velocity of the accelerated
water is v, the mass of water accelerated per unit time in the treading motion
is given by (see Exercise 7-1)
m = Avpu
(7.11)
Because the water is initially stationary, the amount of momentum imparted to
the water each second is mv. (Remember that here m is the mass accelerated
per second.)
Momentum given to the water per second = mv

Chapter 7 Fluids
This
the rate of change of momentum of the water. The force producing
this change in the momentum is applied to the water by the moving limbs.
The upward reaction force FR, which supports the weight of the swimmer,
is equal in magnitude to Fp and is given by
FR = Fp = gV(p - fPw) = mv
(7.12)
Substituting Eq. 7.11 for m, we obtain
Pw Av? = gV (p- SPu)
or
gV (p- fpw)
(7.13)

The work done by the treading limbs goes into the kinetic energy of the accel-
erated water. The kinetic energy given to the water each second is half the
product of the mass accelerated each second and the squared final velocity of
water. This kinetic energy imparted to the
generated by the limbs; that is.

Substituting equations for m and v, we obtain (see Exercise 7-1)

Here W is the weight of the animal (W = gVp).
It is shown in Exercise 7-2 that a 50-kg woman expends about 7.8 W to
keep her nose above water. Note that, in our calculation, we have neglected
the kinetic energy of the moving limbs. In Eq. 7.14 it is assumed that the
density of the animal is greater than the density of water. The reverse case is
examined in Exercise 7-3.
