There are 3.78 liters in one gallon, therefore 3.78L = 1 Gallon. If I need 58 half-gallon containers for my boat, determine the buoyant force that would be created.

F (b) = 2142.106N

Explanation:

Given the following data

Volume is 3.78L which is 1 gallon

Therefore, 58gallons = 3.78*58 = 219.24L

Buoyant force F (b) = V (s) * d * g

Where V (s) = submerged volume = 219.24L = 0.21924m³

d = density of water = 997kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Therefore F (b) = 0.21924m³ * 997kg/m*9.8m/s²

F (b) = 2142.106N
