I took this in 1955 and do not need practice. If you get stuck I will help but I will not do all the problems for you.
By the way in Naval Architecture we have a term called "tons per inch" for small changes in draft.
It proportional to
rho g * area of water line plane
additional force up = rho * g * waterline area * distance we went down in the water
Archimedes ( a Sicilian who Greeks consider Greek) suggested the approach.
