How many people can be on the raft?
First I calculated the volume of all of the logs... V = 13((pi)(.225)^2(g)) = 3.94 Then wanted the mass of the logs m = density(Volume) density = .6(997) m = 2356 Then calculated buoyant force... Fb = (997)(3.94)(9.8) = 3928 Then set this equal to weight of people and logs 38496 = ((number...- lgeorge
