When a boat is partially immersed in water, it displaces 600 kg of water. How much is the buoyant force acting on the boat in newtons ? (g = 10 m s-2)

Step 1
The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid is given by Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Show more…

(a) What is the buoyant force on $0.90 \mathrm{kg}$ of ice floating freely in liquid water? (b) What is the buoyant force on $0.90 \mathrm{kg}$ of ice held completely submerged under water?
Two people are pulling a boat through the water as in Figwre $\mathrm{P} 4.24$. Each exerts a force of $600 \mathrm{~N}$ directed at a $30.0^{\circ}$ angle relative to the forward motion of the boat. If the boat moves with constant velocity, find the resistive force $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{F}}$ exerted by the water on the boat.
