Asked by Lucy
You have a tanker that is filled with olive oil, which total mass = 200 kg. The tanker is in the shape of a rectangular box w/vertical sides and a horizontal cross-sectional area 0.9 m^2. How deep a swimming pool do you need so that the tanker doesn't hit the bottom?

Wondering what the empty tanker weights?
olive oil mass=200kg
olive oil volume= 200kg/densityOO
water displaced volume= 200kg/densityWT
volume=height*area
height=200kg/(densityWT*.9)
height=200/1040*.9= you do it. This is the depth of water needed to hold 200kg floating
