With one paddler on board a canoe sits in the water as shown in the above cross-section. If the canoe is 4 m long and can be treated as though it were rectangular in planform when viewed from above, calculate the maximum height that the centre of gravity of the canoe and paddler combined can be above the bottom of the canoe in order for the canoe to remain stable.
