Assume you are responsible for determining the maximum load that can be carried by a rectangular barge that is 8 m wide and 18 m long. The water line when the barge is empty is 3 m below the level of the cargo deck. Find the maximum cargo weight that the barge can carry if the limit on the water line is 1 m below the deck level.
