A loaded scow has a draft of 1.80 meters in freshwater when erect. The scow is 6 meters wide and 12 meters long and 2.4 meters high. The center of gravity of scow is 0.6 meters below the top of the scow along the vertical Axis of Symmetry. What is the maximum single weight that can be moved transversely from the center of the scow and unloaded over the side without sinking the scow?
