2b. A SUBMARINE War Vessel which can be considered as a closed pontoon, has 4 vertical equaliy sized diaphragms/ballast tanks (size of each is 1.6m×1.4m ) in series as shown in the figure. The submarine vessel (originally of elliptical section) can be approximated to be of a circumscribing rectangular section of 3.0m×3.4m, and is built throughout with 1 inch thick metal alloy weighing 95,850N/m3. Determine the melacentric height of the SUBMARINE Vessel as soon as it surfaces above the sea water surface. Relative density of sea water is 1.03 . Assume the vessel with only the compartment weights separating the diaphragms, with proportionate weights for the front and rear portions of the vessel.
