water does the barge sink when 300,000 kg of coal are loaded in the barge?

Water weighs 1 gm/cc, which converts to:
1 gm/cc*1 kg/1000 gm*10^6 cc/kg, or
1000 kg/ cubic meter
300,000 kg of coal is therefore equivalent to 300 cubic meters of water.
The surface area of the barge is 600 square meters,
so the boat will sink 1/2 meter (because 600*.5 = 300)

Sorry, NO Can DO Your H'Work for You...
Lesse That's 600 Meters Square for Area
& "Fresh Water" is _ density or kg for Cubic Meter?
300,000 kg of coal is = what _ of Cubic Meter of Water?
Then divide Cubic Meters by Area and get Depth...
Or, sumpthin like that.
