Michael has been asked by a client which manufactures a wide range of barges to determine the approximate mass of one specific steel barge which has vertical sides and a flat bottom. Use information Flat Bottom Barge Area = 30 m2 Un-laden Floating Depth = 0.5 m Height of Barge Verticle Side = 0.7 m Michael has also been asked to show whether the barge with his given values will be able to float whilst carrying a 10 tonne truck. The density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. please solve accurate and exact with complete step and explanation. Thank you!!!
