🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between volume displaced and weight of water (Archimedes’ principle) • Approximate weight density of seawater in pounds per cubic foot • Conversion from pounds to long tons (1 long ton = 2240 lb)

💭 Think About

• How do you turn the given cubic feet of seawater displaced into a weight in pounds using an approximate seawater density? • Once you have the weight in pounds, what exact conversion factor do you use to get long tons? • After converting to long tons, which of the choices is closest to your calculated value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Use about 64 lb/ft³ as the weight of seawater unless told otherwise • Be sure you are converting to long tons (2240 lb/ton), not short tons (2000 lb/ton) or metric tons • Carry enough significant figures so you can clearly distinguish between the two close answers in the 11,000–12,000 long ton range
