Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V
and mass of boat be M
In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.
Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V
M leads to 0.1V boat submerging
boat submerging.
M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.
This is 60%, 0.6 V increase
By comparison
(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M
0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M
120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M
120kg = 0.6M
M = (120/0.6)kg
M = 200kg.
The mass of the boat is 200kg.
According to Newton (2nd law), Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Substitute what we know : Force = (1,000 kg) x (3 m/s²)
Do the arithmetic: Force = 3,000 kg-m/s² = 3,000 newtons
The answer is that FRICTION PRODUCES HEAT.
