a 214kg boat is sinking in the ocean.its acceleration towards the sea floor is 6.12 m/s^2. the force of gravity that draws the boat down is partially offset by the buoyant force of the water, so what is the force pulling on the boat as it sinks?

The weight of the boat is 214 x 9.8 = 2097 N
The net force downwards is 214 x 6.12 = 1310 N
The upwards force is therefore 2097 - 1310 = 787 N upwards
