(a) A rectangular barge of 11.6 m x 4.2 mx 1.8 m (length x wide x depth) is used to transport sand (density = 1280 kg/m?) through a fresh water lake (density = 1000 kg/m?) as shown in Figure Q1(a). The barge itself made of steel weighed 40,000 kg. Sand Water level T Depth 1.8 m Length 11.6 m- Figure Q1(a): Rectangular barge floating in seawater (1) Determine the volume of sand carried inside the barge if it is submerged at 1.4 m depth.
