3. A certain boat displaces a volume of 2.5 m3 of water. (The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.) a. What is the mass of the water displaced by the boat? b. What is the buoyant force acting on the boat?
Added by Jose Antonio L.
Step 1
Given: Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3, Volume of water displaced = 2.5 m^3 Mass = Density x Volume Mass = 1000 kg/m^3 x 2.5 m^3 Mass = 2500 kg Show more…

Calculate the buoyancy force acting on a partially immersed boat (V = 5.0 m3). The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.
If a 1-L container is immersed halfway into water, what is the volume of the water displaced? What is the buoyant force on the container?
