oaded scow has draft of 1.6 m in sea water (sg = 1.03) when in upright position. The scow is 6 m wide and 12 m long and 2.4 m high. The center of gravity of the scow is 1.8 m above the bottom along the vertical axis of symmetry. Assume that the center of buoyancy is located half of the height of draft. Determine the metacentric height due to pitching if the scow is tilted until one end is just submerged in seaw

A ship of displacement 36000 tonne carries oil fuel in four tanks 16.0 m long and 6.0 m broad, the tanks arranged with their length in the fore and aft direction. The specific gravity of the oil is 0.84, and the density of seawater inwhich the ship is floating is 1020 kgm-3. For a ship of this size, the metacentric height is at least 500 mm. What is the reduction of the metacentric height of the ship because of the oil that is contained in the tanks and how serious is this reduction? Please discuss further your conclusions.
Consider a flatboat hull which carries cargo down a river. When fully loaded the craft weight 150 kN. How far will this boat sink into the water? (i.e., What is boat’s “displacement, D?”) Be sure to draw a free-body diagram that shows all external forces operating on the boat; also, show all relevant dimensions. Locate the center of buoyancy (ycb) from the bottom of the hull. If the metacenter (M) is located at 0.98 m from the bottom of the hull, is this boat stable?
