A boat weighs 7320 N (does not include the weight of any load). The boat is loaded to the point where it is just about to take on water (heading for Davey Jones' locker). The force on the boat at that point is 12260 N. What is the weight of water displaced by the boat when it is just about to take on water (sink)? You may just write an answer.
What is the size of the load that just about sinks the boat? Please show a little work:
What is the size of the buoyant force on the empty boat (no load)? You may just write an answer.
