You have probably noticed that carrying a person in a pool of water is much easier than carrying a person through air. To understand why, find the buoyant force exerted by air and by water on the person. Assume the average volume of a person is 0.092 m3, and that the person is submerged in air and water respectively. (Give the magnitude.) air:
water :
