A jon boat is a flat-bottomed aluminum boat for navigating very shallow waterways. This problem will calculate the draft (how far below the water its bottom is) of such boat at its loaded capacity. You have an jon boat 14 ft length and 62" beam (width). It has a side depth of 15" and a mass 200 lbm. Assume the boat is a perfect rectangle (for simplicity). Such a boat has a maximum load of 562.2 lbm. [Use 64 lbm/cu.ft as the density of water.] (a) What is the area of the bottom of the boat? (sq in) (b) What is the draft of the unladen jon boat? (in) (c) What is the draft of the jon boat at maximum capacity? (in)
