On dry land, an athlete weighs 63.7kg . The same athlete, when submerged in a swimming pool and hanging from a scale, has an "apparent weight" of2.30kg .

A. Assume that when submerged, the athlete's body contains a residual volume VR=1.3×10?3m3 of air (mainly in the lungs). Taking V?VRto be the actual volume of the athlete's body, find the body's specific gravity, SG.

B. Determine the athlete's percent body fat assuming it is given by the formula f=((495/SG)?450)%?
