Given information

Given values:

The diver and her equipment have a total volume of 69.6L.

Formula used:

The buoyant force is the weight of the water displaced using the density of saltwater.

   

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

It is common knowledge that wood and plastic float in water, whereas an iron ball and a stone sink right away. Iron that has been fashioned into a bowl (like a ship) will also float. As a result, we understand that the density of the object's constituent materials has no bearing on whether or not it sinks. Archimedes' principles can be used to explain this phenomenon: the outthrust on a submerged body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
