The Liquid would have to have a lower density in order for the person to to float.

His density is higher? Because he does not fully float

The density of Vegetable oil is .92 g/cm3 or 920 kg/m3 The density of alcohol is .79 g/cm3 or 790 kg/m3 The density of glycerine is 1.26 g/cm3 or 1260 kg/m3 The density of sea water is 1030 kg/m3 or 1.03 g/cm3

Hello Everyone. I attend an online high school and this is one of my assignments. I do not know what I need to do in order to complete this. Any help would be much appreciated Here is the Assessment I'm a sinker. If I try to float motionless in a pool I soon find myself vertical with just the tip of my head at the water surface. It is very easy for me to sit on the bottom of the pool. Maybe that's why I don't like to swim much. How about you? Do you sink like me or are you a floater? How would it be different if you were in alcohol, or vegetable oil, or glycerine, or sea water? Density is the key to your answers. Your answers must include: the densities of the 4 liquids involved (you will have to use your own resources for this), an approximation of your density (based on your floatability) expressed in relation to that of water, and if your answers would be different if you were doing this in a habitat on the moon.
