You build a boat out of a shoebox. The dimensions are 30 centimeters x 20 centimeters x 10 centimeters. What is the maximum weight the boat will hold in the water?

Respuesta :

Answer:

58.86N

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating density expressed as;

Density = Mass/volume

Given

Density of water = 1000kg/m³

Volume of the boat = (0.3×0.2×0.1)m³ (note that the units have been converted to meters)

Volume of the boat = 0.006m³

Get the mass of the boat

Mass =Density×volume

Mass = 1000×0.006

Mass = 6kg

Next is to find the weight

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 6×9.81

Weight = 58.86N

Hence the maximum weight the boat will hold in the water is 58.86N
