What minimum height must the sides have for this boat to float in perfectly calm water?


depends in part on rho, density of steel. , boat's dimension determine weight w = mg = rho v g; v volume of steel used in boat.

boat float when weight of displaced water b = rho g v = rho g h = rho v g = w; area of bottom, , h = ? depth boat needs sink before b = w , float. v volume of water displaced v volume of boat sunk water. h answer looking for. .

h = rho v g/(rho g a) = (rho/rho)(v/a) = ? meters minimum side height. find volume of steel used v , density rho kind of steel used. can math.

the bottom of steel "boat" 7.0m x 9.0m x 5.0cm piece of steel . sides made of 0.49-cm-thick steel. minimum height must sides have boat float in calm water?
