A wooden barge of rectangular cross-section is 8 m wide, 4 m high, and 16 m long.It is transporting in seawater (s 1.03) a total load of 1,500 kN including its ownweight and cargo. If a weight of 75 kN (Included in the 1,500-kN) is shifted adistance of 2.5 m to one side, it will cause the barge to go down 450 mm in thewdge of immersion and also rise 450 mm in the corresponding wedge of emersionThe barge floats vertically (on an even keel) before the shifting of the weight.Compute how far above the waterline is the center of gravity of the loaded barge.W = 1500 kN4,DD/2BF8 m25m60 kN/m75 kN1425 k0.454 mBo oBF3.42 m
