Answer:

Upthrust on boat becomes lesser than Weight of boat

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are more people than the capacity, The weight of the boat acting downwards increases. However, the upthrust acting on the submerged part of the boat is constant. Since Weight > Upthrust, there is a net force downwards, leading to sinking.

It will sink because of how much the max capacity a boat can have it will sink because it is over capacity that’s why it will sink.

Hope this helps :)
