How buoyancy helps a boat float?

Firstly you must understand that buoyancy is the very thing that allows anything to float. Buoyancy is defined as the force applied to an object by the fluid it is in, the force is quivalent to the volume of the fluid that is being displaced by that object

Example

say you have an object with a volume equal to 1 metre cubed sumbersed in water

since the object is displacing 1 m^3 of water, 1000Litres = 1 m^3 , and 1L is approximately equal to 1kg. therefore the buoyant force would be 1000 kg of force upwards.

the more fluid is displaced by an object, the more buoyant that object will be

Can you go boating in PA with a NJ boating license?

I asked the same question to my.boat-ed.com and this is what I got: In most cases, states honor other state boating safety education

certificates, if the certification is from a course that is approved by

the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). All of

our courses are NASBLA-approved ( see www.boat-ed.com/index.htm ).

The only exceptions I am aware of are PWC operation in Connecticut, and

Utah. CT, and UT require their own course for PWC operators. If you

already have a certificate from another state that is NASBLA-approved,

you should review the boating laws of the state where you plan to boat

before you go out.

The NEW JERSEY State Police will honor any state issued NASBLA-approved

boating license as long as the license bearer is a resident of the

issuing state. Proof of residence (drivers license or photo id) is

suggested. (Please see < http://www.njsp.org/maritime/faq.html > question
