Let us model a certain cargo ship as a rectangular prism with length (100 m) and width (20 m). Also, let us useρw= 1 g/cm3as the density of water. (a) If the waterline comes up (2 m) from the bottom of the boat when empty of cargo, how much does the boat weigh (in Newtons)? (b) If 400,000 metric tonnes of cargo are added to the ship, how far below the waterline will the bottom of the boat be?
