One method of determining percentage body fat of a person is called hydrodensitometry. To use this method, a person is weighed in air, then weighed while fully submerged in water. The person's density is calculated from these measurements and is compared with the known densities of non-fat body tissue and fat tissue to determine the person's percentage body fat. A women's percentage body fat is measured using hydrodensitometry. She weighs 638 N in air, and 44 N under water. If the density of the water is p = 1000 kg/m³, find: (a) The buoyancy force on her when underwater (b) The mass of displaced water (c) The volume of displaced water (d) Her average density
