The ship floats in water due to the buoyancy Fb that is given by the equation:

Fb=ρgV, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g=9.81 m/s² is the acceleration of the force of gravity and V is volume of the displaced liquid.

The density of fresh water is ρ₁=1000 kg/m³.

The density of salt water is in average ρ₂=1025 kg/m³.

To compare the volumes of liquids that are displaced by the ship we can take the ratio of buoyancy of salt water Fb₂ and the buoyancy of fresh water Fb₁.

The gravity force of the ship Fg=mg, where m is the mass of the ship and g=9.81  m/s², is equal to the force of buoyancy Fb₁ and Fb₂ because the mass of the ship doesn't change:
 
Fg=Fb₁ and Fg=Fb₂. This means Fb₁=Fb₂.

Now we can write:

Fb₂/Fb₁=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), since Fb₁=Fb₂, they cancel out:

1/1=1=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), g also cancels out:

(ρ₂V₂)/(ρ₁V₁)=1, now we can input ρ₁=1000 kg/m³ and ρ₂=1025 kg/m³

(1025V₂)/(1000V₁)=1

1.025(V₂/V₁)=1

V₂/V₁=1/1.025=0.9756, we multiply by V₁

V₂=0.9756V₁

Volume of salt water V₂ displaced by the ship is smaller than the volume of sweet water V₁ because the force of buoyancy of salt water is greater than the force of fresh water because salt water is more dense than fresh water.

A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wal
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The distance is 3.1 m

Explanation:

The position vector of the fly relative to the corner of the wall is

r = (3.1, 0.5).

The distance of the fly from the corner will be calculated as the magnitude of the vector "r"

magnitude of vector  r = \sqrt{(3.1 m)^{2} + (0.5 m)^{2}} = 3.1 m

Since the numbers to be added have only one decimal place 3.<u>1</u> and 0.<u>5</u>, the result of the sum will have to have one decimal place. The result of the square root will also have one decimal place.
