A ferry boat is 4.0 m wide and 6.0 m long. When a truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks 4.00 cm in the water. What is the weight of the truck?
2. Relevant equations
\rho=m/v
and others
3. The attempt at a solution
none. My teacher gave my class chapter to read and complete on our own. I have no idea where to begin to start solving this problem.
