A boat floating in fresh water displaces 16,000 N of water. How many newtons of salt water would it displace if it floats in salt water of specific gravity 1.10

It will displace the same weight of fresh water i.e.16000N. The point is the body 'floats'- which is the underlying assumption here, and by Archimedes Principle, for this body or vessel or whatever it may be, to float it should displace an equal weight of water

Explanation:

the answer is b ) square root of 5

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
