For his construction project Northern Mindanao, Engr. Robredo commissioned a barge to transport a 20 mm diameter by 6 m long steel reinforcing bars he purchased in Cebu City. When unloaded in the Cagayan port (where the water is observed to have a sp.gr. of 1.03 )the barge has a draft of 3.8 m and the portion of the barge at the water line measures 300 m by 60 m. Loaded with the reinforcing bars in Cebu City bay (where the sea water is observed to have a sp.gr. of 1.05, the vessel chief mate recorded a draft of 7.2 m. If it costs P5 to transfer a bar of a given dimension, determine how much would it costs Engr. Robredo for the transfer in thousands of pesos. Use unit weight of steel to be 7.85 kN/cu.m.
