The original displacement of the boat in seawater in km is 7.42 x 10⁻⁵ km.
The shortest path traveled by any particle during its motion.
A boat going from salt water to fresh water sinks 7. 82cm. After burning coal, the boat rises up by 15. 24cm.
Displacement = 15.24 -7.82 = 7.42 cm
1cm = 10⁻⁵ km
So, 7.42 cm =7.42 x 10⁻⁵ km
Thus, the original displacement is 7.42 x 10⁻⁵ km.
