Pre-Lab Worksheet:

Buoyancy

  1. Calculate the volume of a boxy boat that has a width of 8.00cm, a length of 4.50cm and a depth 1.20cm.




  2. If this boat has a mass of 10.0grams, what is its density?




  3. Calculate the volume of a circular boat that has a radius of 5.00cm and a depth of 2.10cm.




  4. If this boat has a mass of 7.50grams what is its density?




  5. Using the value from question#1, what mass of water does the boat displace if it is completely submerged in the water up to the top of its sides?




  6. Using the value from question#3, what mass of water does the boat displace if it is completely submerged in the water up to the top of its sides?




  7. If 100.0grams are added to the boxy boat in question#1, and that sinks the boat exactly up to the top of its sides, what is the pressure being exerted on the bottom of the boat? (Give your answer in Kg/cm2)




  8. If 100.0grams are added to the circular boat in question#3, and that sinks the boat exactly up to the top of its sides, what is the pressure being exerted on the bottom of the boat? (Give your answer in Kg/cm2)
