A ship with cargo weighs 44,480 kN and draws 7.60m of salt water. On crossing a bar at the entrance to a river her draft is decreased by 30 cm by the discharge of 2670 kN of water ballast. In going up the river to fresh water, 445 kN of coal burned. What will her draft be then and how much ballast must be required to increase it by 30 cm? Assume that the sides of the vessel near the water surface are vertical.
