A boat of solid polystyrene (cube, side length 1.200 m) is released into the water in Narragansett Bay. Ignore the air above the bay to simplify things. 1) What is the mass of the boat? Questions 2-6 share the same set of answers (immediately below) you will use to fill in the blanks. For each, consider the state where the boat is released in the Bay with only gravity and the buoyant force acting.

A boat of solid polystyrene (cube, side length 1.200 m) is released into the water
in Narragansett Bay. Ignore the air above the bay to simplify things.
1) What is the mass of the boat?
Questions 2-6 share the same set of answers (immediately below) you will use
to fill in the blanks. For each, consider the state where the boat is released in
the Bay with only gravity and the buoyant force acting.
A) less than
B) equal to
C) greater than
D) not enough information is given to answer definitively
2) The volume of the boat isthe volume of fluid it displaces.
3) The mass of the boat is
the mass of the fluid it displaces.
4) The density of the boat isthe density of the fluid it displaces.
5) The acceleration of the boat is.
zero in the "up" direction (+5).
6) The weight of the fluid displaced by the boat is
the weight of the boat.
7) What is the dry length of the side normal to the surface of the water on this
unusually calm day? (If it sinks, no part of the boat would be dry)

8) Calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on the boat if it were
entirely submerged (say because it was pulled under the sea water by some
external actor like Jaws).
