Example 7.3 A barge with a flat bottom and square ends, as shown in the following figure. The barge has a draft (distance from the water surface to the bottom of the boat) of 6 ft when fully loaded and floating in an upright position . The center of gravity of the barge when fully 25 ft loaded is on the axis of symmetry and 1.0 ft above the water surface, as shown in the figure. Determine (1) Is the barge stable? (2) If the barge is stable, what is the righting 42 ft moment in water when the angle of heel is 12° ? 4 ft (a) Top View 6 ft 10 ft 42 ft 4 ft V Water Line 10 ft 6 ft 25 ft 25 ft (b) End View

Q- To complement the construction of a wall or to connect a wall to be constructed with a previously constructed wall specially If the wall is to be connected vertically when It is left without completion, and each row is an apostate from the row under of it about a quarter or half a brick. The wall is left before it is completed, it is left in the place where each brick stops on the length. It stands out by a quarter of its length from the brick on the head at the bottom, and thus the wall is saw-toothed. The previously built wall each brick is left on the head so that it will down away from the face of the wall about quarter brick and this works done between row and row. The thickness of an existing wall is to be exceed, it will be drilled with dimensions of 1/2x2x2 bricks per square meter of the wall. Non of them
