A platform is being designed to support some water pollution testing equipment. As shown in Fig. 5.31, its base is 36.00 in wide, 48.00 in long, and 12.00 in high. The entire system weighs 130 lb, and its center of gravity is 34.0 in above the top surface of the platform. Is the proposed system stable when floating in seawater?
