A barge pulled by a tugboat can be described as a rect- angular box that is open on the top. A certain barge is 30.2 feet wide and 12.50 feet high, with the base of each side being 116 feet long. If the barge itself weighs 6.58 x 10 pounds, what will be the draft (depth in the water) if the cargo weighs 1.12 × 10° pounds in (a) sea- water with a density of 1.025 g/mL and (b) freshwater with a density of 0.997 g/mL?

A cylinder weighing 445 N and having a diameter of 1 m floats in salt water (sp.gr. 1.03) vertically. It has an anchor tied to the cylinder, where the anchor rest at the bottom of the earth. The anchor weigh 23540 N/m3 and has a volume of 0.280 m3. What height “h” above the water surface will be required to lift the anchor off the bottom of the water when a high tide occur? The part of the cylinder is submerged 0.30 m below the salt water.
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? Only round off on the final answer, Use three decimal places.
