A loaded scow 6 m wide, 12m long and 2.4 m high has a draft of 1.8m in fresh water when upright. The center of gravity of the scow is 1.8 m above the bottom along vertical axis of symmetry; (a) What is the angle of tilt if the scow tilts due to a load placed or moved transversely to the right from the center without sinking it as it rolls over the side? (b) What is the weight of the load described in letter a
