the plan view of a flat bottomed pontoon with all its sides vertical is shown in figure below. the displacement including the load is 28tons. it is used in sea water for which the relative density can be taken as 1.025.
1.The metacentric height if the mass centre is 400mm
above the base.
2.if part of the load having a mass of 1.2 tons is to be moved
500mm to one side of centre , calculate the expected angle of tilt
this would cause.
