A cargo ship of mass 50000 metric tonnes is floating in the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are freshwater, so we can assume a density of 1000kg/m3. What is the volume of water displaced by this cargo ship?

If the volume of the cargo ship is 8.33×104 m3, what percentage of the ship's volume is below water?

A block of wood has a mass of 3.57 kg and a density of 588 kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead so that it will float in water with 0.82 of its volume immersed. The density of lead is 1.13 ? 104 kg/m3. (a) What mass of lead is needed if the lead is on top of the wood? (b) What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached below the wood?

A young girl (mass = 35.0 kg) is standing on a raft floating on a pond (initial speed = 0). The raft's length is 4.00 m; it is made of wood (density = 700 kg/m3) and has a mass of 267 kg. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.             a.         Before the girl gets on the raft, what fraction of its volume is below the water?             b.         The girl and the raft were initially at rest (relative to the water), with the...

Vocean= volume of ocean Docean  = volume of ocean A) The total volume of Titan’s lakes and seas was recently estimated to be 70,000 km3 of liquid methane. If this volume was spread across all of Titan into a global ocean (ignore any surface topography for the remainder of this question), how deep would that global ocean be? The volume of a global ocean can be approximated by its depth multiple by the surface area of the moon (Vocean = Docean...
