To remain afloat while in the indian ocean, the Ever Given had to displace approximately 3.6 x 10^9 Newtons of seawater which has a specific gravity of 1.025. The volume of the water displaced is equal to the volume of the portion of the ship underwater. The underwater portion of the ship has a rectangular cross section of 900 square meters. The ship can be modeled as a rectangular parallelepiped. Determine the length of the ship in units of meters [m].
