Homework Statement
35m^3 of a boat's volume is submerged under water. What does the boat weigh? The boat is 14 metres long.
Homework Equations
pVg=mg
The Attempt at a Solution
pVg=mg
pV=m
m=pV=1000*35
This is what my teacher said, but I don't understand it. The submerged volume of the boat is equal to the volume of the displaced water. So by calculating m we are getting the water's mass, which is not equal to the boats mass. or is it?
