Inflatable Boat Capacity 420L - Load Capacity Calculation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the load capacity of an inflatable boat with a 420-liter volume, where 91% of its volume is above water. To determine the maximum load in kilograms before the boat sinks to the water surface, the buoyant force (Fb) must be calculated using the weight of the displaced water (Wwd). The density of water is given as 1020 kg/m³, and the calculations involve converting liters to cubic meters and applying gravitational force. The initial calculation suggests a buoyant force of approximately 4202.604 N, but there is confusion regarding the volume conversion. The thread seeks verification of the calculations and methods used.

Homework Statement


Inflatable boat with a capacity of 420 liters, floating in empty, so that 91% of the volume is above the water surface. The density of water is 1020 kg/m3

Homework Equations


How big load in kilograms can be loaded, top of the sink to be just the water surface level?

The Attempt at a Solution


i guess we need to find the buoyant force Fb which is the weight of the water displaced Wwd

Wwd=1020*0.42*9.81 ?
and that's gives us 4202.604 N

or maybe:
Wwd=1020*0.0378*9.81 ??

Remember 1000litres = 1m^3

And then use unitary mathod...:smile:

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
