Question 49
A cargo ship without any load has a mass of 50 000 metric tonnes (50 000 000 kg). The body of the ship, called the hull, is watertight and is designed to make the ship float. At maximum load, the cargo ship displaces 55 000 cubic metres of seawater. Calculate the mass of the displaced seawater. (Take the density of seawater to be 1003 kg/m³.) Give your answer in kilograms.
