Engineering students are often asked to design a "concrete boat" as part of a design project to illustrate the buoyancy effects of water. As a proof of concept, determine the depth d to which the concrete box will rest in the fresh water. The box has a uniform wall thickness of 2.8 in. on all sides and the bottom. 3.7¹ Answer: d = i 6.7' ft 2.0¹
