Question 17

specific gravity of pure water

Answer 17

1

Question 18

specific gravity of salt water

Answer 18

1.024 - easier to float

Question 19

specific gravity of ave human body

Answer 19

0.974 but if exhale all air maging 1.1 so will sink

Question 20

specific gravity of subcutaneous fat

Answer 20

0.85 - more fat more it will float

Question 21

exp resistance of water

Answer 21

d/t viscosity - inc surface area or speed = inc resistance

Question 22

exp hydrostatic pressure

Answer 22

appli of pascal’s law - fluid exerts pressure on body proportionate to depth

deeper = more pressure; so mas mataas sa lower ex
