(B) This is easier, it's just 210009.8 (A) Let's assume that the hull is completely steelThe density of steel is 7850 kg/m^3Figure out the volume from thatFigure out the corresponding of weight of water from that (your Buoyant Force)Tension will be equal to the weight of the hull minus the Buoyant force.
