A boat is constructed of wood having a density of 401.4 kg/m3. Its surface area is 15.5 m2, and its volume is 19.4 m3. When the boat is placed in freshwater (rfreshwater = 1000 kg/m3), a load of Kendall's Bust, m = 11,500 kg, is also placed on the raft. With the added load of the Bust, what depth, h (in meters), does the boat sink into the water? i.e. how far down does it sink, to remain floating?

A 300-gallon water storage tank is filled by a single inlet pipe, and two identical outlet pipes can be used to supply water to the surrounding fields (see the figure). It takes 5 hours to fill an empty tank when both outlet pipes are open. When one outlet pipe is closed, it takes 3 hours to fill the tank. Find the flow rates (in gallons per hour) in and out of the pipes.
