A barge floating in fresh water (rho = 1000 kg/m^3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m^2 and hei

ght H = 2.0 m. When empty the bottom of the barge is located H0 = 0.55 m below the surface of the water. When fully loaded with coal the bottom of the barge is located H1 = 1.35 m below the surface.
Randomized Variables
A = 750 m²
H₀ = 0.55 m
Hᵢ = -1.1 m
(A) Write an equation for the buoyant force on the empty barge in terms of the known data.
(B) Determine the mass of the barge in kilograms.

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

When empty , H₀ length of barge is inside water .

volume of barge inside water = A x H₀

Weight of displaced water = AH₀ x ρ x g

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water = AH₀ ρg

B)

It should balance the weight of barge

Weight = buoyant force

Weight = AH₀ ρg

mass of barge = weight / g

weight / g = AH₀ ρ

= 550 x .55 x 1000

= 302500 kg

Is it possible that a speed of 254 and a speed of 100 could be the same speed?
EastWind [94]
Not if both speeds are in the same units.

However, if the 254 is 'centimeters per time' and the 100 is 'inches per time',
then the speeds are equal.
