Best Answer

Up-thrust depends on the amount of volume of water the man displaces, therefore his shape, and not on his weight. He will sink until his weight and the volume of water displaced is the same and he would be floating. So the amount cant be calculated. Depending which is stronger, the weight of the person or the buoyancy, determines whether he sinks or floats. There will be more buoyant force with salt water than fresh water e.g.. In the Dead Sea you would float quite high.
