A rectangular scow 6.5 meter wide, 10 meter long and 4 meter high is submerged in fresh water by 2 meter. Its center of gravity is fixed at 3.2 meter above the bottom of the scow lying at the vertical axis of symmetry. An additional weight was placed in the scow causing it to submerge further. If the additional weight is equal to 360 kN and is placed 3 meter to the right of the axis of rotation, solve the following:1. Total draft2. Angle of tilt3. Moment arm, x4. Metacentric Height
