A hollow barge (with 4 side walls and a floor and open at the top) weighs 20000 N and has external dimensions 3 m high x 8 m wide x 14 m long. How much cargo weight could this barge carry in fresh water, assuming that a safe load would leave 0.5 m clearance between the water surface and the top edge of the barge?
