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.

Repeat Problem

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.
