(choose chapter or problem)

BIOLOGICAL APPLICATION Most species of fish have expandable sacs, commonly known as swim bladders, that enable fish to rise in the water by filling the bladders with oxygen collected by their gills and to sink by emptying the bladders into the surrounding water. A freshwater fish has an average density equal to when its swim bladder is empty. How large must the volume of oxygen in the fishs swim bladder be if the fish is to have neutral buoyancy? The fish has a mass of 0.825 kg. Assume the density of oxygen in the bladder is equal to air density at standard temperature and pressure.
