A crane is 18 meters long, 9 meters wide, and 3 meters high. The weight of the barge and crane lies on the vertical centerline 1.8m from the bottom of the barge for any position of the crane. Determine the maximum horizontal distance that the crane could swing a load of 11,000kg out to one side from the centerline of the barge at deck level so that no part of the base of the scow may leave the water.
