Question

A boat floating in fresh water displaces water weighing 35.6 $\mathrm{kN}$ . (a) What is the weight of the water this boat displaces when floating in salt water of density $1.10 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} ?$ (b) What is the difference between the volume of fresh water displaced and the volume of salt water displaced?

Step 1

Given: Weight of water displaced in fresh water = 35.6 kN Density of salt water = $1.10 \times 10^{3} \, \text{kg/m}^3$ We know that weight = mass x gravity, and mass = volume x density. Therefore, weight = volume x density x gravity. Weight of water displaced Show more…
