My boats are all 29 ins or less, there not allot that f room in my them for floatation however there?s as much as I can get in there.
I have a question for Panther6834 if you take a 5 gallon bucket of water or an 8oz bottle of water fill it to the very top with water and put a lid on it so there is no air in the bucket or bottle just water, will it float or be buoyant at all Or neutral
At tried it with a bottle of water in my lake, it sank like a rock I think the 5 gallon bucket would do the same thing, hence our boats filled with water.
Found on the internet.
The buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces. In equation form, Archimedes? principle is
An object submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force
is greater than the weight of the object, the object rises. If It is less than the weight of the object, the object sinks. (b) If the object is removed, it is replaced by fluid having weight
.Since this weight is supported by surrounding fluid, the buoyant force must equal the weight of the fluid displaced.
I?m suggesting that we cannot rely on what we think is enough flotation material in our boats, I?m suggesting that we know the exact weight of our boats filled with water and that the flotation material in our hulls can create enough buoyancy to get the boat back to the surface.
After losing three in 6 months I?m not taking anymore chances.
