    Answer:

    A) Fb = 671.3 N

    B) The diver will sink.

    Explanation:

    A)

    The buoyant force applied on an object by a fluid is given by the following formula:

    Fb = Vρg

    where,

    Fb = Buoyant Force = ?

    V = Volume of the water displaced by the object = 68.5 L = 0.0685 m³

    ρ = Density of Water = 1000 kg/m³

    g = 9.8 m/s²

    Therefore,

    Fb = (0.0685 m³)(1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)

    Fb = 671.3 N

    B)

    Now, in order to find out whether the diver sinks or float, we need to find weight of the diver with gear.

    W = mg = (71.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

    W = 703.64 N

    Since, W > Fb. Therefore, the downward force of weight will make the diver sink.

    The diver will sink.
