A rectangular vessel 6 meter wide, 10 meter long and 8 meter high, has a draft in seawater (sg=1.10) of 3 meter. Its center of gravity is 2.50 meter from the top. The vessel tilted 20 degrees after an overturning force is applied. Solve for the: 1. Metacentric height 2. Buoyant force acting on the body 3. Moment Arm, x 4. The righting or overturning couple.
