A barge floating in fresh water (ρ = 1000kg/m3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism withbasearea A = 750 m2 andheight H = 2.0 m. When empty the bottom of thebarge islocated H0 = 0.45 m belowthe surface of the water. When fully loaded with coal the bottom ofthe barge islocated H1 = 1.8 m belowthe surface.
A) Select the correct free-body diagram for the barge whenit is empty.
B) Write an equation for the buoyant force on the emptybarge in terms of the known data.
C) Determine the mass of the barge in kilograms.
D) Which freebody diagram represents the barge when it isloaded with coal?
E) Find the mass of the coal in terms of the givendata.
F) Find the mass of the coal in kilograms.
G) How far would the barge be submerged (in meters)if mc,2 = 250000 kg of coalhad been placed in the empty barge?
