since water is denser than air, you need to open up an area so that the mass of the 550 pennies divided by the volume of air taken up by the boat (water displacement) is less than or equal to 1 gram per cubic centimeterthis will tell you how much volume is needed you now need to determine what is the best surface area to volume ratio you can find for a shapei'd start by looking at the volumes and surface areas for different 3D shapes, such as half-sphere, box, pyramid, cone, cylinder, cube, etcfind surface area and volume formulas for eachplug in numbers and investigate (this is what the teacher will look for when grading - playing around with the formulas to find the needed volume using an unknown surface area of that shape will get you points)once you find the shape that requires the least surface area to get the required volume, make your boat in that shape with the appropriate dimensions you found good luck
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displacedIn other words, however much 550 pennies weighs, you have to displace that weight of water with your boatYour goal should be to try to fashion as large a hull as possible under water, and then find a place to put the pennies.
It is possible to have them reduced, but that has to be approved by both the prosecutor and the judge.
