Swimbladder exampleFishcontroltheirdepthbyadjustingthevolumeof"swimbladders.”Withitsswimbladdercollapsed,amackerelhasadensityof1.08g/cm3.Bywhatfractionofitsoriginalbodyvolumemustthefishinflateitsairsacstoreduceitsdensitytothatofwater?
Answer:weneedtoreducethedensityby1.08x,i.e.ρ1/ρ2 =1.08.
Sincevolumeisinverselyproportionaltodensity,V2/V1 =ρ1/ρ2 =1.08.
