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

We can use the formula: $Weight = Density \times Volume \times Gravity$ where $Weight$ is the weight of the water displaced, $Density$ is the density of the water, $Volume$ is the volume of the water displaced, and $Gravity$ is the acceleration due to gravity Show more…
