A crane barge, 20 m long, 8 meters wide, and 12 meters high loaded at its center with a road roller weighing 20 short tons, floats on fresh water with a draft of 1.20 meters and has its center of gravity located along its vertical axis at a point 1.50 meters above its bottom. Compute the horizontal distance out to one side from the centerline of the barge through which the crane could swing the 20-ton load which it had lifted from the center of the deck, and tip the barge with 20-meter edge just touching the water surface.
