<span>A = area of styrofoam
M = mass of stryofoam = A*h*rho_s
m = mass of swimmer
Total mass = m + M = m + A*h*rho_s
Downward force = g*(total mass) = g*[m + A*h*rho_s]
The slab is completely submerged.
Buoyant force = g*(mass of water displaced) = g*[A*h*rho_w]
Equate these
g*[m + A*h*rho_s] = g*[A*h*rho_w]
m + A*h*rho_s = A*h*rho_w
A*h*[rho_w - rho_s] = m
A = m/[h*(rho_w - rho_s)]</span>
<span>Waves hitting at an angle and then bending around features of the coast is known as Wave refraction
When waves hitting a specific angle, some part of the waves will be closer to the shallow part of the water and some part will be closer to the deeper part of the water, which makes the wave became somehow bent around the shore.</span>
Physical forms are: gas,liquid,and solid
If the mass of the cylinder increases, the temperature of the water increases, because a greater mass means the cylinder has more potential energy that can be converted to thermal energy, increasing the temperature of the water.
