Question
Statical Stability. The scow shown in Fig. A above is 15 m long, 6 m wide, and 4 m deep. It has a draft of 3 m when
floating in an upright position. The center of gravity of the scow is on the axis of symmetry, 0.5 m above the water
surface. Compute (a) the initial metacentric height, and (b) the righting moment in sea water when the angle of heel is
10 degrees. Specific weight of sea water is 10,045 N/m".
