Question

Imagine we shape 0.3x10³ kg of solid steel into a small boat model which can displace 0.8 m³ of water at its maximum capacity. What is the additional buoyant force we get from this ship compared to the buoyant force we would get by submerging this chunk of solid steel directly into water, in unit of N? ρ(steel) = 7.8x10³kg/m³. ρ(water) = 1.0x10³kg/m³. Use g = 9.8 m/s².
