Step 1: Answer Question 1f. To calculate the displacement of the barge, we use the formula: = V × where is the displacement, V is the volume of displacement, and is the density of water. The volume of displacement can be found using the block coefficient (C_b) and the overall dimensions of the barge: V = C_b × L × B × T From the given orthographic views in Figure 1: The overall length (L) is 8 cm (from the side view). The maximum breadth (B) is 6 cm (from the top view and front view). *
