A pontoon boat floats on two cylindrical pontoons (assume the ends are flat). Each pontoon is 6m long. The mass of the boat, pontoons, and gear (without any passengers) is 1950 kg. If exactly half of the pontoon volume was submerged without any passengers on the boat, what is the maximum volume of water that can be displaced to support the weight of passengers? The density of freshwater is 1000 kg/m³ . End view of pontoons: Waterline Pontoon D/2 is submerged

For your science exhibit, you want to make a block of wood float at the interface between a layer of oil of unknown density Poil, and water (pwater = 1000 kg/m3 inside a container as shown. The density of the wood is pwood = 800 kg/m3. What must be the density of the oil so that only 30.0 % of the wood is submerged in water?
A plane is fitted with pontoons for operation on lakes. As it taxies out for take-off, the plane itself weighs 10670 Newtons (2849lbs), it has 40 gallons of gasoline in its tanks, and the pilot and passenger together weigh 1513 Newtons (340 lbs). One gallon of gasoline weighs 25 Newtons (5.67lbs). What is buoyant force on the plane when it floats in a body of water? Take the mass density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s2

In the water, a square plate with (side= a) is lying vertically, with its upper horizontal edge touching the water's surface. The positions of the centre of pressure (h*) on the planar surface and the total pressure force (P) will be determined by: [Where, p is the density of water (a) P=pga/2, h=2/3.a (b) P=pga¹/2, h=2/5.a (c) P pga/4, h-2/5.a (d) P=pga/3, h=2/3.a (e) P=pga¹/5, h=2/7.a
A ship of displacement 36000 tonne carries oil fuel in four tanks 16.0 m long and 6.0 m broad, the tanks arranged with their length in the fore and aft direction. The specific gravity of the oil is 0.84, and the density of seawater inwhich the ship is floating is 1020 kgm-3. For a ship of this size, the metacentric height is at least 500 mm. What is the reduction of the metacentric height of the ship because of the oil that is contained in the tanks and how serious is this reduction? Please discuss further your conclusions.
