3. In the illustration above you see a tugboat in sea water towing gravel in a barge that is approximately rectangular in shape is 4 m wide and 10 m long. When loaded, it sinks 2 m in the water. a) Draw a sketch of the rectangular barge illustrating the volume beneath the waterline. b) Determine the weight of the gravel and barge recalling that Archimedes principle states that weight of an immersed object is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced. The weight density of seawater to be 10,094 N/m^3. Your answer

3. In the illustration above you
see a tugboat in sea water
towing gravel in a barge that is
approximately rectangular in
shape is 4 m wide and 10 m
long. When loaded, it sinks 2 m
in the water. a) Draw a sketch of
the rectangular barge illustrating
the volume beneath the
waterline. b) Determine the
weight of the gravel and barge
recalling that Archimedes
principle states that weight of an
immersed object is equal to the
weight of the volume of water
displaced. The weight density of
seawater to be 10,094 N/m^3.
