Re: A Math Question: Buoyency

You just need to calculate the average density of the whole container to it's weight.... If the density is less than 1 Kg/L, it floats.

So, you could calculate the volume of some random boxes to guess and check, or you can work backwards knowing you need to offset 15 lbs.
