The body is drowning in kerosene, how will it behave in water?

If the body is drowning in a vessel filled with kerosene, then in order to find out how the same body will behave if the vessel is filled with water, it is necessary to know the densities of both liquids:

Density of water – 1000 kg / m3

Kerosene density – 800 kg / m3

Archimedes force formula F = ρ × g × h. Based on this, with an increase in the density of the medium, the buoyancy force will also increase. However, we do not know if the increased force of Archimedes will exceed the weight of the body (which is necessary for the body to float).



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
