Thickness, t= 2cm

Unit weight = 20 kn/m3


Base rectangle (1 nos.)
Volume= 1 x 0.3 x 0.02 = 6x10-3 m3
Self weight= 6x10-3 x 20 =0.12kn

Long trapezoid (2 nos.)


H= 0.35 m
Slope height h= 0.391m
Volume= 0.391 x (1/2)x (1+1.44) x 0.02 = 9.5404x10-3
Self weight= 0.1908 kn

Shorter trapezoid ( 2 nos.)


H=0.4134
Volume= 0.4134 x (1/2) x (0.3+0.65) x 0.02 = 3.9273x10-3
Self weight = 0.078546 kn
Total = ( 1 x 0.12 + 2 x 0.1908 + 2 x 0.078546 ) = 0.7036 = 72 kg (approximately)
BUOYANCY CALCULATION
Volume of water displaced = weight of boat
Top rectangle area = 0.3 m2
Bottom rectangle area= 0.936 m2
72 = 1000 (0.3 + (0.936 0.3)/0.35 x h) x h
Solving the 2 degree eqn. we get. Depth of immersion, h =0.201 m
Iyy = bd3/12 = 1.44 x 0.65^3 / 12 = 0.03295 m3
B.M B.G should be +ve
B.M = Iyy / volume = 0.03295 / 0.1326 = 0.248

B.G = 0.35 / 2 0.2 / 2 = 0.075


B.M B.G =0.173 (+ve)
Hence it will float.
