A rectangular pontoon 10 m long, 8 m broad and 3 m deep weigh 980 kN. It carries, on its upper deck, a boiler 6 m in diameter weighing 588 kN. Longitudinal axis of the boiler is parallel to 10 m side. The centres of gravity of pontoon and boiler Boler 6 m Pantoon are at the centroid of respective figures and in the same vertical line. Find metacentric height. Take unit weight of water as 9.80 kN/m³. 3m 8m Elevation
