A large 5-m long Tiger Shark caught off the coast of Florida wasfound to weigh 15000 N (on the boat). Its humongous liver wasremoved and found to weigh 3500 N! A subsequent buoyancy test foundthat the oil-filled liver has an average density of 0.92 kg/L.
a) What is the total mass of the shark?
b) What is the mass of the shark without the liver?
c) Which of the following expressions can be used for findingthe overall (or 'average') density of an object made up ofcomponent B embedded in component A? (recall, p is thesymbol for density)
1. paverage = pAMA +pBMB/ MA + MB
2. paverage = pA + pB / 2
3. paverage = pA + pB / 2(MA + MB)
4. paverage = pAMA +pBMB / 2
d) If the shark is precisely neutrally buoyant in salty seawaterof density 1.05 kg/L, what is the density of the shark WITHOUT itsliver?
