Question
The loaded scow has a draft of 1.8 m in fresh water when in upright position. The scow is 6m wide and
12m long & 2.4 m deep. The center of gravity of the scow is 1.8 m above the bottom of the scow along
the vertical axis of symmetry. What is the maximum safe weight that can be moved transversely from
the center of the scow & unloaded over the side without sinking it?
