Why barge of metal can it floats in water?

A barge made of metal can float in water because of its shape and displacement. The barge is designed to displace a volume of water that is greater than its own weight, allowing it to float. Additionally, the buoyant force acting on the barge provides the necessary upward force to keep it afloat.


How adjust the net weight in a loaded river barge due to water into the wink tanks?

If you add more sand the barge will be weighed down taking away height from the barge. If you take away sand, the barge will float higher and have an even better chance of not being able to fit under the bridge.

How would you calculate if you can put your crane on your barge and the barge still float if all you know is the weight of the crane?

Never mind. I got it on my own. We had to figure the mass of the barge, and used Archimedes principle about fluid displacement and worked it out from there. Thanks for anyone who might have been trying to help.


If you want to float a barge by building a hull under it instead of using barrels how do you know how much your hull will float?

You calculate the volume of water displaced (volume of hull up to the waterline level), and multiply by the density of the water in which it will float.
