The amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged in the water. It can be calculated using the formula: volume of water displaced = weight of the object / density of water.
The Joke: Not much it sank The truth: A floating boat will displace the same weight in water that it weighs. So the real question is how much does it displace or how much does it weigh
7.48 gals water
Air is displace by water because water is much denser than air and therefor is much harder to compress.
the weight of the ship is equal to the amount of water displaced
The force needed to displace 1500 pounds of water depends on whether you are trying to displace it vertically or horizontally. To displace 1500 pounds of water vertically (lifting it), you would need a force of 1500 pounds. If you are displacing it horizontally (pushing it), the force needed would depend on the resistance of the water and the method being used.
The buoyant force acting on the boat is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which is equal to the weight of the boat. Therefore, a 10N boat would displace 10N of water.
It must displace as much weight in water as it weighs (roughly 600 cubic meters of water). These boats have huge hulls, so can easily displace this much without beginning to sink.
The Titanic displaced 52310 tons.
20,000 cubic kilometres
You must displace as much water at the metal weighs. So there is equillibrium between the metal and the water.
Sponges displace the ocean's water, and the water that they do "suck up" becomes part of their volume, and thus has no effect on the depth of the oceans. When you remove sponges, they will no longer displace water in the ocean, so the ocean will actually be shallower.
