The density of a human body can be calculated from its weight in air, Wair and its weight while submersed in water, W. The density of a human body is proportional to: A. War (Wair - Ww). B. (Wair - Ww)/Wair C. (Wair-Ww)/WW. D. W/(Wair Ww). Solution: The correct answer is A. A. According to Archimedes' principle, Wair is proportional to body density and Ww is proportional to the difference between the body density and water density. The body density is then proportional to the ratio between Wair and Wair - Ww B. This answer contradicts Archimedes' Principle, being the inverse of the ratio that the density of the human body is proportional to. C. This answer implies that the weight of the body is inversely proportional to the density of water. D. This answer implies that the weight of the body is directly proportional to the density of water, not the density of the body.
