What happens to the boat when its weight is greater than the buoyant force?

What happens to the boat when its weight is less than the buoyant force?

What happens to the boat when its weight is equal to the buoyant force?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. and 2. If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object rises to the surface and floats. If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object sinks. If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object can remain suspended at its present depth.

3. When the buoyant force equals one ton, it will sink no further. When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the “principle of flotation” where a floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
