The theory for this is called "Archimedes principle" and as the story goes that dear old Archie shouted "Eureka!", when he was taking a bath and figured it out.


He wrote this down as a law and it goes like this:


"The upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid the body displaces."


The formula for this is:


Apparentimmersedweight = weight - weight of the displaced liquid.

If you know the length width and mass of the boat as well as the density of the liquid how would you calculate how far the boat sinks into the liquid?

To determine how far the boat sinks into the liquid, first calculate the volume of the boat using its length, width, and height (if available). Then, find the buoyant force acting on the boat, which equals the weight of the liquid displaced, calculated using the density of the liquid and the submerged volume of the boat. Set the weight of the boat equal to the buoyant force to find the submerged volume, and subsequently calculate the depth to which the boat sinks by dividing the submerged volume by the boat's length and width.
