9.8 m/s^2 + 20 m /s * the mass of the airplane?

So, the weight of the barrel is Fw = ma = 200kg * 9.8 m/s^2 So the amount of water displaced is equal to that. Can I replace Mass of water displaced with m = volume * density (density of water * 200kg of water displaced). Solve for volume, then for volume I can substitute w * l * h? solve for h?

Homework Statement The oil drum floats in such a way that one circular end is always directly up. The total mass of drum is 200 kilograms. The drum has a cross-sectional area of 0.4 m2, and the North Sea is level. What is the draft (the distance from the surface to the deepest point of...
