The average density of a human is approximately 985 kg/m3. (Note, it is smaller when the lungs are filled with air.) Hence, what percentage of a person's body would lie above the surface of a lake in which the person was floating. Assume the density of water in the lake is 1000 kg/m3?

The average density of the human body is 985 kg/m3, and the typical density of seawater is about 1020 kg/m3.

(a) The average density of the human body, after maximum inhalation of air, changes to 945 kg/m3. As a person floating in seawater inhales and exhales slowly, what percentage of his volume moves up out of and down into the water?

(b) The Dead Sea (a saltwater lake between Israel and Jordan) is the world's saltiest large body of water. Its average salt content is more than six times that of typical seawater, which explains why there is no plant and animal life in it. Two-thirds of the volume of the body of a person floating in the Dead Sea is observed to be submerged. Determine the density (in kg/m3) of the seawater in the Dead Sea.

A man who weighs 74 kg when measured out of the water is holding his breath and floating, at rest in a 23.0 m deep lake. While holding his breathe, his density is 994.0 kg/m3. The density of water is 1000.0 kg/m3. When the man is floating at the surface of lake, what percent of his body's volume is above water?
