Review Problems:

2. A barge floating in freshwater has the form of a parallelepiped having a dimension 10mx30mx3m. lt weighs 4500 kN
when loaded with center of gravity along its vertical axis 4 m from the bottom. Find the metacentric height about its
longest and shortest centerline, and determine whether or not the barge is stable.

4. A rectangular scow 7 ft by 18 ft by 32 ft long loaded with garbage has a draft of 5 ft in water. Its center of gravity is 2 ft
above the waterline. Is the scow stable? What is the initial metacentric height?

6. The scow shown in the figure is 12 m long, 6 m wide, and2.40 m deep. It has a draft of 1.50 m when floating in an
upright position. The center of gravity of the scow is on the axis of symmetry, 0.30 m above the water surface.
a. Compute the initial metacentric height.
b. Compute the righting moment in freshwater when the angle of keel, θ, is 10°.
