Answer:
F = 1618.65[N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the following equation that relates the mass, density and volume of the body to the floating force.
We know that the density of wood is equal to 750 [kg/m^3]
density = m / V
where:
m = mass = 165[kg]
V = volume [m^3]
V = m / density
V = 165 / 750
V = 0.22 [m^3]
The floating force is equal to:
F = density * g * V
F = 750*9.81*0.22
F = 1618.65[N]
