Question

The base are of boat is 2m^2.The man weighing 76 kgweight steps in the boat.Calculate the depth to which boat sinks

Answer 1

we assume that boat is flooring in water
p=force×area
here,f=76×g
=76×10
=760N
p=760/2
=380pa
now p=hdg. (height=h,d=density of liquid in kg/m^3,g=10)
380=h×1000×10
h=0.038 answer
