A rectangular object has a width of 40 meters, height of 15 meters, and length of 2 meters. It floats consistently when 3 meters of its height is below the surface of the water.
1. Find the volume of the displaced water.
- Is this the same as the volume of the object?
no, it is just the 3 meter part that is submerged.
If it sinks, then the displaced water has the same volume as the object.
