In this problem, use g = 9.81 m/s2 and water = 1000 kg/m3.

Syndra is moving into a new suite in a New York high rise apartment. One of her 3D art pieces must be transported via elevator. The art is composed of a partially submerged statue in a large container of water (as seen in the figure above). The statue has a mass of 800 kg and is 60% submerged when at rest.

Calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force on the statue if the elevator has a constant acceleration of 1.70 m/s2 directed up. _______ N
