A ship with a mass of 2000 tons and the value of I is 5840 m4. The density of sea water 1025 kg/m3. A container with a mass of 12 tons is displaced 6 m off the centre of the ship. This causes the ship to tilt 20. Assume the container is more or less on the same height as the centre of gravity of the ship. Determine 1. The metacentric height of the ship. 2. The height of centre of gravity of ship above the centre of buoyancy
