A rectangular deck scow 23.50 m long, 7.10 m wide and 3.23 m high has a draft of 1.22 m when light and a draft of 3.05 m when loaded. The bottom length of the scow is 13.15 m. The waterline is 21.26 m long when the scow is loaded with rocks and 18.69 m long when light. If sea water weighs 1026kg/cubic meters and the loaded dredged material weighs 3208kg/cubic meters, determine the volume of the loaded rock."
