The force require to keep grouper submerged is 8.207N.

According to Archimedes principle  buoyant force of any object must equal to weight of fluid it displaced.

The expression for the force exerted to stay submerged in salt water is

           F = F(b) - w(fish)

 where F(b) = buoyant force

              w(fish) = weight

      now substitute w(b) for F(b)

   →  F = Vρg - w(fish)

where  V = volume of sea water

             ρ = density of sea water

Now by Archimedes principle   V = m(fish)  / ρ(fish)

    →    F = (m(fish) / ρ (fish) ) ρg - m(fish)g

           F =   (85 kg/1015 kg-m^-3) (1.025× 10³ kg-m^-3) (9.8 m/s^2)

                                  -   (85kg)  × 9.8 m/s^2

           F = 841.207N - 833N

           F = 8.207 N

  Hence, the force require to keep grouper submerged is 8.207N.

Which of the following statements best describes chromatic aberration?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer is A/B, they're the same answer anyways.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is the result when the lens fail to focus all the colors on the same point. The light then focuses in different points,and could lead to causing two images at once. The main culprit of this is usually dispersion.
