A boat develops a leak and, after its passengers are rescued, eventually sinks to the bottom of a lake. When the boat is at the bottom, what is the force of the lake bottom on the boat?

Explanation:

The force of the lake bottom on the boat = force the boat exerts on the bottom

force the boat exerts on the bottom  = weight of the boat - buoyant force on the boat

so  

The force of the lake bottom on the boat  = weight of the boat - buoyant force on the boat

So

The force of the lake bottom on the boat will be less than its weight .

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
