Repeat Problem 5.46, except assume that crushed coal is added to the scow so that the scow is submerged to a depth of 16.0 ft and its center of gravity is raised to 13.50 ft from the bottom. Determine the minimum width for stability.
Problem 5.46
Figure 5.30 shows a river scow used to carry bulk materials. Assume that the scow’s center of gravity is at its centroid and that it floats with 8.00 ft submerged. Determine the minimum width that will ensure stability in seawater.
