We will use this problem to learn a strategy for solving problems involving objects that are floating or sinking in fluids. Large commercial ships often have lifeboats to help evacuate the ship safely in the case of a shipwreck. Suppose a particular lifeboat is made from 3.5 m³ of wood, where the wood has a density of 400 kg/m³. The boat has the shape shown and has a depth of 0.75 m. How many people could take the lifeboat, before it sinks? An average person in the US weighs 182 lbs and the density of seawater is 1024 kg/m³. 2.0 m 0.5 m 5.0 m
