Boat Water
How is the waterline on a boat without putting it in the water?

building a cardboard boat, paint, glue and physics and the need to find the water line without putting the boat in the water. please help!

Picture in your mind … an empty box the exact size of one cubic foot. Well, now to recall – Fresh water weighs 62 pounds per cubic foot Understood? This means moving from 62 pounds a cubic foot of water … Therefore, if you put 31 pounds (half the weight of water it displaces) in the box and put the box in the water … half will float on water and half out of water … Therefore, if you does this boat float … and you weigh 124 pounds, you need 2 cubic feet of ship (2 x 62 = 124), just to keep the water …. Follow me? Now, since you need "Freeboard" to keep the water flowing again and invasion of your boat, you must add a lot of freeboard. Therefore, it makes the boat more … If you make a rectangle of cardboard boat, which is 6 feet long and 2 meters wide – You have 12 cubic feet (12 x 62 = 744 pounds) So, the boat will float 744 pounds now. Therefore, if you weigh 124 pounds, and all its boat manufacturing equipment weighs 62 pounds. You have 744 pounds or 186 pounds more than 1/4th of your helmet will be under water, and three quarters will be water … and, consequently, their line is 3 inches from the 1/4th (bottom of one foot or 12 inches = 3 inches … and you have 9 inches of freeboard (Which by the way, is not enough … so you can float in it, you need at least 2 feet of freeboard. Therefore, a box of Rectangle 6 feet long x 2 meters wide x 2 "6" height would be a good boat … If you do this with a child, model boat instead of £ 62 a foot cube, you can Use 0.0362 per cubic inch. Good luck, John
