A floating boat displaces water weighing 6000 Newton.

(i) What is the buoyant force on the boat?


(ii) What is the weight of the boat?

Weight of water displaced by boat= 6000N

(i) Buoyant force =6000N, as the weight of water displaced is equal to buoyant force.


(ii) Weight of a floating object = Weight of water displaced by it = 6000N
