Let us assume that a seal's lungs makes up 10% of its bodies volume when full, and that the average density of a seal is 980 kg/m3 when its lungs are full. If the air in the seal's lungs obeys Boyle's law, at what depth would this seal achieve neutral buoyancy in sea water, which has a density of 1020 kg/m3? Assume there are no changes to other tissues in the seal as it dives and that atmospheric pressure is about 1x105 Pa. Before diving, seals may exhale to reduce the amount of air in their lungs. This would increase their density (decreasing their overall volume), and, therefore, reduce their buoyancy so that it is easier for them to dive.]

A. 6.5 m

B.16.5 m

C165 m

D.1.65 m

2. A fish swimming in this lake can lie still at a depth of five meters, without having to exert any upward or downward forces to remain at this depth. The average density of this fish at this depth . is it equal, less than, or greater than the density of the surrounding water?

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter
