The bottom of a steel "boat" is a 6.00 m x 9.00 m x 5.00 cm piece of steel(density of steel = 7900 kg/m^3) . The sides are made of 0.460 cm-thick steel.
what minimum height must the sides have for this boat to float in perfectly calm water? in cm
i have that F_B (buoyancy force) is equal to W_boat (weight of boat) is equal to W_B + 2*W_s1 + 2*W_s2. where w is the weights and it equal rho*g*V. F_B = density of water*g*total volume and total volume is equal to 6*9*(h+ .05)
any suggestions would really help
