Question 1

A steel block weighing 100 kg is submerged in water, causing a displacement of 0.1 m³. What is the buoyant force acting on the block?

💡 Hint: Use the density of water to find the weight of the water displaced.

Question 2

A boat has a center of gravity 2 meters above the waterline and the metacenter is 3 meters above the waterline. Determine whether the boat is in stable equilibrium.

💡 Hint: Compare the height of the metacenter and the center of gravity.
