A 200-kg flat-bottomed boat floats in fresh water, which has a density of 1000 kg/m3. If the base of the boat is 1.42 m wide and 4.53 m long, to what depth is the bottom of the boat submerged when it carries three passengers whose total mass is 257 kg?
Added by Robert R.
Step 1
First, we need to find the total mass of the boat and passengers. The mass of the boat is 200 kg, and the mass of the passengers is 257 kg. So, the total mass is: $m_{total} = m_{boat} + m_{passengers} = 200 + 257 = 457 kg$ Show more…

A 200.0 kg flat-bottomed boat floats in fresh water, which has a density of 1000 kg/m³. Assuming that the base of the boat is 1.42 m wide and 4.53 m long, how much of the boat is submerged when it carries three passengers whose total mass is 193 kg? 6.11 cm 7.33 cm 6.84 cm 6.48 cm

Consider a row boat with a length of 3.6 m, 0.33 m of depth, and a width of 1.9 m. It has a mass of 138 kg. The density of the water is 1000 kg/m^3. At what depth is the boat submerged in the water?
