...pounds per cubic feet.
Assume the specific weight of the water is 62.4 pounds per cubic feet.
Please note: You have all the data you need to solve this problem.
Begin by drawing a schematic.
Then draw a Free Body Diagram of the forces.
As shown in the illustration, a 6-m-wide, 15-m-long barge is filled with rocks and floats in water. Assume that the rocks' and barge's center of gravity, G, is positioned along the centerline at the barge's surface. What is the metacentric height in meters if the barge carrying the rocks weights 1,765.8 kN?
A loaded scow has draft of 1.6 m in sea water (sg = 1.03) when in upright position. The scow is 6 m wide and 12 m long and 2.4 m high. The center of gravity of the scow is 1.8 m above the bottom along the vertical axis of symmetry. Assume that the center of buoyancy is located half of the height of draft. What is the maximum single weight in kN that can be moved transversely from the center of the unloaded scow over the top edge without sinking the scow? (Considering rolling position)
