Answer:
Explanation:
A) Vair = 1.3 L
B) Volume is not reasonable
Explanation:
A)
Assume
m to be total mass of the man
mp be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water
m1 be the mass above the water with the empty lung
m2 be the mass above the water with full lung
wp be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.
Va be the volume of air inside man's lungs
Fb be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung
given;
m = 78.5 kg
m1 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.5 kg
m2 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.8kg
But, mp = m2- m1
mp = 3.8 - 2.5
mp = 1.3kg
So using
Archimedes principle, the relation for formula for buoyant force as;
Fb = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Thus;
Fb = wp = 1.3× 9.81
Fb = 12.7N
But
Fb = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
So
Vair = Fb/(ρ_water × × g)
Vair = 12.7/(1000 × 9.81)
V_air = 1.3 × 10^(-3) m³
convert to litres
1 m³ = 1000 L
Thus;
V_air = 1.3× 10^(-3) × 1000
V_air = 1.3 L
But since the average lung capacity of an adult human being is about 6-7litres of air.
Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable
