A boat floating in fresh water displaces water weighing 50.1 KN. (a) What is the weight of the water this boat displaces when floating in salt water of density `1.10 xx 10^(3) kg//m^(3)` ? (b) What is the difference between the volume of fresh water displaced and the volume of salt water displaced?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will address both parts of the question.

### Part (a): Weight of Water Displaced in Salt Water

1. **Identify the weight of the boat**:
The boat displaces water weighing 50.1 kN when floating in fresh water. Therefore, the weight of the boat is:
\[
W_{\text{boat}} = 50.1 \, \text{kN}
