Boats must typically stay at least 100 feet away from water skiers and other vessels engaged in towing activities to ensure safety and avoid collisions. However, this distance can vary depending on local laws and regulations, so it's essential to check the specific rules for the waterway you are on. Additionally, maintaining a safe distance helps prevent accidents and allows for the skier's safe maneuvering. Always prioritize safety and be aware of your surroundings.
When operating a vessel at greater than slow no wake speed, you must stay at least 100 feet away from swimmers, downed skiers, or persons wading in the water. This distance helps ensure the safety of individuals in the water and minimizes the risk of accidents caused by boat wakes or proximity. Always be vigilant and follow local regulations, as distances may vary by jurisdiction.
Local rules will apply.
The boat and you experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of water displaced. Therefore, to stay afloat, the boat must displace a minimum mass of water equal to 2750 kg.
You must be in the January 2011 Wilderness Expedition. If you are, complete the maze, do the machine then build a boat and sail away on it. You will earn a rare party stamp if u do.

If pulling a live person into a small boat you must instruct them to help as much as they can. As you start pulling the person in you must take the time to even out the weight by carefully leaning back. As you finally get the floater into the boat both of you must get back to the center boat. Otherwise the boat will tip.
When operating a boat involved in wake surfing, you must typically stay at least 200 feet away from the shoreline and any persons in the water. This distance may vary depending on local laws and regulations, so it's important to check specific guidelines for the area you're in. Maintaining this distance helps ensure safety for both surfers and those on or near the water. Always prioritize safety and be aware of your surroundings.
No simple formula. When you add 100 kg to the boat, it displaces 100kg, ~ 100l water. You must then calculate how much lower the boat gets in the water, to displace that water. It would be easier, if the boat had vertical sides, like a barrel or a box, otherwise you need to do integration (calculus). If the boat is not rocking, and the water is perfectly still, you can put people into the boat, until the weight of the people equals the weight of the water displaced when the edge of the boat is at the edge of the water. But in real life, you must account for waves, wind etc. Then there is seating capacity, toilets, food etc, if we are talking about a liner or ferry.

The density of pure water is approximately 1000 kg per cubic meter. It isn't, strictly speaking, useful to compare the density of a boat to the density of water. A boat can be constructed of material considerably denser than water (consider a steel battleship or aircraft carrier) and still float. What's important is that the boat must be able to displace a volume of water equivalent to the weight of the boat, without allowing the water to enter the boat. ---------------- Addendum ---------------- The answer your teacher is looking for: "The density of the water is greater than the density of the boat.". This answer is not correct in all cases. If the actual displacement of the boat (sans air) is used to determine density, all steel boats would be denser than water, and most motor boats would be denser than water. A boat which (sans air) is less dense than water cannot fully sink. Now for the next phase of comprehension: the boat has a degree of buoyancy not just in the water, but also in the air. To measure the total bouyancy (which is 0 while floating), you must understand that the mass of the displaced air (above water level) and the mass of the displaced water (below water level) is the sum of the mass of the air (below water level) and the boat (without air). Were the air denser than the boat, the boat would lift (sans surface tension) from the water and float away in the air.
When a mirror is used in lieu of an observer when towing skiers, the mirror must have at least 78 square inches of viewing area and have a field of vision of at least 170 degrees mounted on the vessel.
