An object floats with half its volume beneath the surface of the water. The volume of the object is 3.5 m. What is the weight of the object? The density of water is 1000 kg/m3

Since the object is floating, the buoyant force equals the weight of the water displaced:

W = d g v  where d is the density of water and v = V/2 where v is the volume of the water displaced   and v = V/2 where V is the volume of the object.

W = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (3.5 /2 m^3)

W = 17150 kg m / s^2 = 17150 N
