Chapter 5, Problem 4SEP
Write a program for evaluating the stability of a rectangular block placed in a fluid in a specified orientation. Call for input data for length, width, height, and weight (or specific weight) of the block; location of the center of gravity; and specific weight of the fluid. Solve for the position of the block when it is floating, the location of the center of buoyancy, and the metacenter. Compare the location of the metacenter with the center of gravity to evaluate stability.

- As shown in the figures below, and the Video, a rectangular barge floats in a stable configuration provided the distance between the center of gravity, CG, of the object (boat and load) and the center of buoyancy, C, is less than a certain amount, H. If this distance is greater than H, the boat will tip over. Assume H is a function of the boat's width, b, length, I, and draft, h.
