From the Physics Section of the PADI Dive Theory Exam:
A 175 kg/385 lb anchor that displaces 115 l/4cf of water lies on the bottom in 14m/46ft of salt water. What is the minimum amount of water that must be displaced from a lifting device to bring the anchor to the surface?
I will post a daily question from my exams to help newer divers and to encourage more experienced divers to interact gracefully and helpfully with the newer divers.
Reminder - this is a post in the Basic Forum and it is a green zone. Please be nice and on topic.
Thank you for your patience while we try to give people something to discuss other than Covid-19 and/or Politics. I will post the answer covered by the spoiler tag later today.
