Question:
A ship sails from seawater (specific gravity 1.025) into fresh water and therefore sinks slightly. When its load of 600,000 kg is removed, it returns to its original level. Assuming that the sides of the ship are vertical at the water line, find the mass of the ship before it was unloaded.
Step by Step Answer:
Let V displacement of ship in the two cases m ...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
