There are 3.78 liters in one gallon, therefore 3.78L = 1 Gallon. If I need 58 half-gallon containers for my boat, determine the buoyant force that would be created.

    F (b) = 2142.106N

    Explanation:

    Given the following data

    Volume is 3.78L which is 1 gallon

    Therefore, 58gallons = 3.78*58 = 219.24L

    Buoyant force F (b) = V (s) * d * g

    Where V (s) = submerged volume = 219.24L = 0.21924m³

    d = density of water = 997kg/m³

    g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

    Therefore F (b) = 0.21924m³ * 997kg/m*9.8m/s²

    F (b) = 2142.106N
