2. 2. A rectangular pontoon 10 m by 4 m in plan, weighs 280 KN and floats in sea water of density 1025 kg m−3. A steel tube weighing 34 KN is placed longitudinally on the deck. When the tube is in a central position, the center of gravity for the combined mass is on the vertical axis of symmetry 0.25 m above the water surface. Find a) the metacentric height, and b) the maximum distance the tube may be rolled laterally across the deck if the angle of heel is not to exceed 5° c) Justify with complete illustration.

2. 2. A rectangular pontoon 10 m by 4 m in plan, weighs 280 KN and floats in sea water of density
1025 kg m−3. A steel tube weighing 34 KN is placed longitudinally on the deck. When the tube
is in a central position, the center of gravity for the combined mass is on the vertical axis of
symmetry 0.25 m above the water surface. Find
a) the metacentric height, and
b) the maximum distance the tube may be rolled laterally across the deck if the angle of
heel is not to exceed 5°
