Answer:
F = 534.6[N]
Explanation:
We must find the pressure exerted by the water at the depth of the boat, by means of the following equation.
[tex]P=Ro*g*h[/tex]
where:
Ro = density of sea water = 1027 [kg/m³]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = wáter Depth = 6.25 [m]
Now replacing:
[tex]P=1027*9.81*6.25\\P=62967.93[Pa][/tex]
The net force is:
[tex]F = P*A\\F = 62967.93*0.00849\\F = 534.6[N][/tex]
