3. On a vacation trip up in Oregon my boys decided to build a 10 kg raft that they made out of driftwood. They decided to try out their raft on a pond nearby and it floats. The density of the pond water is 1000 kg/m³ and the density of the drift wood is 685 kg/m³. b. a. Calculate the volume of the raft. c. b. Calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force on the raft and state its direction Next they decide to add weights to the raft to test how much it can hold. They find some metal weights in the garage that are made out of brass (density = 8,000 kg/m3) and they add them one at a time until the raft is fully submerged. a. C. Determine the new buoyant force on the raft. b. d. What was the amount of mass added to the raft that would cause it to be fully submerged but not sink?

Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
