A Boat Floating in a Harbor
A Boat with a Weight of 547 Newtons Floating in a Harbor
A boat with a weight of 547 newtons is floating in a harbor. We need to calculate the buoyant force on the boat in this scenario.
Buoyant force is the force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in the fluid. In this case, the boat is floating, which means it is in equilibrium and the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the boat.
So, the buoyant force on the boat is 547 newtons.
What is the buoyant force on the boat?A. 55.7 newtons
B. 5,371.5 newtons
C. 273.5 newtons
D. 547 newtons Answer:
A
