(a) Calculate the buoyant force on 15,000 metric tons (Iton = 1,000 kg) of solid steel (density 7.8 x 10' kg/m') completely submerged in water and compare it to the weight of the steel. (b) What is the maximum buoyant force that the water could exert on this same steel if it were in the shape of a boat that could displace 1.75 x 10' m' of water?
