. Estimate the buoyant force that air exerts on you. (To do this, you can estimate your volume by knowing your weight and by assuming that your weight density is a bit less than that of water.)

Answer:


0.886 N buoyant force is exerted by air

Step-by-step explanation:

My weight is
75 Kg

Weight = mass * gravity

As we know

Buoyant Force is equal to the product of density * acceleration due to gravity and volume of the body

Assuming weight density is a bit less than that of water or equal to water i.e
997.77 kg/m3

Volume is equal to mass / density


= 75 Kg * g/
997.777


= 0.0751 * g

Buoyant Force

= Volume * g * density


= 0.0751 * 9.8 * 1.2041kg/m3


= 0.886 N
