A rectangular boat with additional load at the center of 7200 kg is submerged in water by 1.8 m. The boat is 8 m long and 6 m wide and 2.4 m high. • Find the total draft after the 7200 kg is placed at the edge of the boat without causing it to sink. Assume water is fresh with density equal to 1000 kg/cu.m. • Determine the initial metacentric height. • Determine the final metacentric height. Determine the shifting of the center of buoyancy.
