To Estimate: The mass of a swimmer and volume.
Answer to Problem 4P
The mass of the swimmer is considered as the average mass of person, it is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Average mass of person
Density of person = density of water=
Formula used:
The expression for the density.
From the above expression, volume can be written as:
Calculation:
The average mass of the person is assumed as 75 kg.
Substitute the mass value in the volume equation,
Now,
So, the total volume is
Conclusion:
For the mass of
