A steel barge is used to carry sawed wooden logs from Isabela for interisland voyage across seawater with SG of 1.03. Barge dimension is 30 ft x 30 ft with density of 42 lb/ft3. a.) What is the thickness of the barge in feet if 10 inch of the barge is submerged in water with no logs placed? and What is the buoyant force acting on the empty barge in lbs? b.) How many logs can be placed in the barge if the sawed log dimension is 1 inch diameter x 6 ft long that will enable the barge to float with 1 ft of the barge submerged? Assume density of wood to be 26 lb/ft3. c.) How many logs will be placed that will cause the barge to be completely submerged?
