A wooden barge of rectangular cross-section is 8 m wide, 4 m high, and 16 m long. It is transporting in seawater (s 1.03) a total load of 1,500 kN including its own weight and cargo. If a weight of 75 kN (Included in the 1,500-kN) is shifted a distance of 2.5 m to one side, it will cause the barge to go down 450 mm in the wdge of immersion and also rise 450 mm in the corresponding wedge of emersion The barge floats vertically (on an even keel) before the shifting of the weight.
