rectangular deck scow 35.0 m long, 5.60 m wide, and 3.50 m high has a draft of 1.30 m when light ad a draft of 2.95 m when loaded. The bottom length of the scow is 24.0 m. The waterline is 30.0 m long when the scow is loaded with rocks and 25.50m long when light. If sea water weighs 1026 kg/cum and the loaded dredged material weighs 3208 kg/cum, determine the following: a. volume of water displaced when unloaded of light b. displacement loaded c. weight of the water displaced by the load d. volume of the loaded rock
