Question:
(a) As you can tell by watching them in an aquarium, fish are able to remain at any depth in water with no effort. What does this ability tell you about their density?
(b) Fish are able to inflate themselves using a sac (called the swim bladder) located under their spinal column. These sacs can be filled with an oxygen–nitrogen mixture that comes from the blood. If a 2.75-kg fish in freshwater inflates itself and increases its volume by 10%, find the net force that the water exerts on it.
(c) What is the net external force on it? Does the fish go up or down when it inflates itself?
