Problem: Consider two identical ships, one loaded with a cargo of cork (which floats), and the other empty. Which ship displaces more water?
My answer:
V=V
m_1>m_2
and,
\rho_1=\frac{m_1}{V}
\rho_2=\frac{m_2}{V}
so,
\rho_1>\rho_2
\rho_1 displaces more water because the mass added to the ship raises the density.
Conclusion: Is my approach to answering this question correct?
