Question

The large platform shown in this figure carries equipment and supplies to offshore installations. The total weight of the system is 450 000 lb, and its center of gravity is even with the top of the platform, 8.00 ft from the bottom, Will the platform be stable in seawater in the position shown? (specific gravity of seawater = 1.030) (keep 2 decimal places for all answers) a. the height underneath the water = b. the center of buoyancy is located at ft away from the bottom of the platform. c. MB = ft d. the meta center is located at ft away from the bottom of the platform. e. Is this platform stable? (answer stable or unstable)
