What is tongue weight while towing a boat?
The tongue of the trailer presses down on the trailer hitch, and that is tongue weight. How hard it presses down is a function of the weight in front of the trailer wheels, and how much of the weight is not offset by the weight behind the wheels. If the tongue weight is too great, the rear of the towing vehicle goes down. Too light, and the boat trailer will swing side to side.

Can you tow a pop up trailer with a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
Yes. However, the trailer should not exceed the rated towing weight of the vehicle. There are several models of pop-up trailers that are towable for a Jeep Wrangler, CJ-7, etc. The vehicle towing weight should be in the owner's manual--or you can call a Jeep dealer and ask them. Also, the tongue weight of the trailer should not exceed what your hitch is rated for (the tongue weight is how much the hitch of the trailer weighs when you pick it up). Generally, if you can pick up the tongue of the trailer to put it on the ball of the hitch by hand, you don't have to worry about exceeding the tongue rating (unless you can dead-lift more than a couple hundred pounds).
How much water would a 10N boat displace?
The buoyant force acting on the boat is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which is equal to the weight of the boat. Therefore, a 10N boat would displace 10N of water.
How do you use tilt boat trailer?
A tilt trailer is the best type of trailer to have I think, since you don't need a boat ramp to launch your boat. I have a tilt trailer. First, make sure your boat and trailer are balanced properly. The boat weight should be forward of the axle slightly, so that the trailer does not tilt when the bow of the boat is touching the bow stop. Balance the trailer and boat by adjusting the axle and bow stop positions on the frame. (The tongue weight also has to be right, of course.) Also, if your trailer has bunks, the majority of the boat's weight should be on the keel rollers and not the bunks. Finally, all the tilt trailers that I have seen have a safety chain wrapped underneath the trailer tongue to keep the trailer from tilting too much. I think that's a good feature to have. When launching, back up to the water (on the beach or boat ramp) until the water is deep enough. This depends on your boat and prop length. For my boat, I back up until the water level is just below the wheel bearings or axle. Pull the tilt pin. Also, some tilt trailers have a lever that lowers the bunks to reduce friction. Start to slide the boat backwards, holding onto a bow line. If your boat is heavy, you may want to use the winch to control the speed, as the boat can accelerate as the trailer tilts. As the boat moves backwards, the trailer automatically tilts back. The boat just rolls along the keel rollers into the water. When retrieving your boat, the process is just reverse. As you winch the boat up on the aft keel roller, the trailer automatically tilts back. As the bow reaches the bow stop, the trailer frame levels out again. Before you drive off, remember to replace the tilt pin! A tilt trailer is pretty easy to use and you usually don't have to submerge your wheel bearings in the water!
