Problem (4.13): A pontoon measuring 10 m (length) x 7.5 m(width) x 2.5 m (depth) weighing 800 kN floats in sea water. On its upper deck it carries a boiler5 m in diameter and weighing 500 kN. The center of gravity of each unit coincides with geometrical center of the arrangement and lies in the same vertical line. Calculate the metacentric height. Take the specific weight of sea water 10 kN/ m'. [Ans. 0.875 m]
