Answer :

The buoyant force on the hippo is 14,300 N

The density of the hippo = 1030 kg/m³

The mass of the hippo = 1500 kg

The buoyant force on the submerged hippo can be found using the formula

                        F = ρ V g

where F is the buoyant force

           ρ is the density of the water

           V is the volume

           g is the acceleration due to gravity

The volume dispersed can be found by

                  V = m / ρ

                     = 1500 / 1030

                     = 1.456

Now, let us substitute the known values in the above equation, we get

              F = 1000 x 1.456 x 9.8

                 = 14,268.8 N

                 ≈ 14,300 N

Therefore, the buoyant force is 14,300 N
