### Educational Resource: Understanding Buoyancy with a Polystyrene Cube

#### Buoyancy Experiment: A Polystyrene Cube in Narragansett Bay

**Scenario:**
A boat made of solid polystyrene (cube, side length 1.200 meters) is released into the water in Narragansett Bay. Ignore the air above the bay to simplify things.

---

**1) What is the mass of the boat?**

**Questions 2-6** share the same set of answers (immediately below) you will use to fill in the blanks. For each, consider the state where the boat is released in the Bay with only gravity and the buoyant force acting.

A) less than  
B) equal to  
C) greater than  
D) not enough information is given to answer definitively

2) The volume of the boat is ____ the volume of the fluid it displaces.

3) The mass of the boat is ____ the mass of the fluid it displaces.

4) The density of the boat is ____ the density of the fluid it displaces.

5) The acceleration of the boat is ____ zero in the “up” direction (+y).

6) The weight of the fluid displaced by the boat is ____ the weight of the boat.

7) What is the dry length of the side normal to the surface of the water on this unusually calm day? (If it sinks, no part of the boat would be dry)

### Advanced Problem

8) Calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on the boat if it were entirely submerged (say because it was pulled under the sea water by some external actor like Jaws).

**Explanation of Graphs/Diagrams:**

(Note: The original text does not contain any diagrams or graphs to describe.)

This educational resource is designed to help students understand the principles of buoyancy through an application involving a polystyrene cube. The questions encourage critical thinking about relationships between volume, mass, density, acceleration, and weight in the context of fluid displacement and buoyant forces. Students apply the Archimedes principle to determine the floating and sinking conditions of the cube and the forces acting on it.
