I am doing a boat lab challenge and need some help.

1. Calculate the maximum volume capacity of your boat and record it here:

V]]]_max =lwh = _880__ cm³

1. Calculate how far the boat sinks into the liquid:
   1. Total boat mass (paper mass + penny load) = __7.5____ grams
   2. Liquid density = _____ g/cm³
   3. Divide the boat mass (paper mass + penny load) by the liquid density to get volume of displaced liquid,V_disp = (paper mass + penny load) / water density

Vdisplaced=mpaper +mload = _____ cm³

1. Divide the volume of displaced liquid by the base area of the boat to get sinking depth, D_sink:

Dsink= Vdisplacedlw=mtotal (lw)=mpaper +mload (lw) = ______ cm

1. Calculate sinking depth with a 65% safety factor:

D_sink = .65h = ____ cm

Calculate the max load that the boat can hold with the 65% safety factor:

m_65%= .65(lw)h = _____ grams

*m_65%= .65(lw)h - m_paper = _____ grams

1. Calculate your percent submersion:

% sub = D_sink / h = ____ %

1. Calculate Load Mass
   1. Mass of a penny = __2.5___ grams
   2. Mass of ten pennies = _25____ grams
   3. Average mass of one penny = _2.5____ grams

1. What is the weight of displaced water? (Recall Fg = m 0.00982) _______

1. What is the buoyant force on the boat? __________

1. Based on your calculations above,
   1. How many pennies do you predict you your boat will float? = _____ #
   2. How many grams do you predict you your boat will float? = ______ g
