A large freight boat measuring 7m wide, 15m long, and 2.5m high has a center of gravity 1.5m above its bottom. Its draft is normally 1.5m. To find: (a) the metacentric height of the boat when upright and (b) the maximum weight in kilograms that can be moved from the center to the side without sinking.

1. A loaded scow (A large flat bottom boat with square ends, used chiefly for transporting freight.) has a draft of 1.50 m in water
in upright position. The dimension of the scow is: 7 m wide, 15 m long and 2.5 m high. The center of gravity of the scow is
found to be 1.5 m above the bottom along the vertical axis of symmetry. Find: (a) the metacentric height of the scow in
upright position and (b) the maximum weight, in kilograms that can be moved transversely from the center of unloaded scow
over the side without sinking scow.
