What weight of cargo could a barge carry if it was 100ft long x 25 ft wide x 10 ft high and it was lowered 4 ft into the water?
The weight of the barge plus cargo will equal the weight of the water it displaces. If the barge sinks to a depth of 4' then the volume of barge under water is 4 x 25 x 100 = 10,000 cf. This will also be the volume of water displaced. Water weighs 62.4 lbs per cf so 10,000 cf weighs 624000 lbs. This will be the cargo weight plus the weight of the barge. No way to separate the two weights, but the barge weight is probably a small portion of the total.
How durable and light weight is the chicco travel cot?

Can we use light to measure the weight of any object?
using the light alone to measure the weight of a unknown object is impossible.
Does light have weight?
If light is made of photons and photons have mass then you would assume that light has weight in a gravitational field. In fact light running into an object imparts momentum to it. However photons have no rest mass. If they did , objects that were exposed to sunlight and absorbed it would get heavier as time goes on, they don't. So light has no mass and hence no weight.
Are magnets light?
Depends on their weight and density.
What boat can sustain the most weight?

Which boat can hold the most weight?
A barge can be pretty handy for tough loads.
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.
What is the mass of a typical barge?
It could be argues that there is no "typical" barge. Barges range in size from small ones used on canals to large floating "tubs" that are filled with grain or other cargo. But, fortunately, our friends at Wikipedia have a "related" answer: a typical barge measures 195 feet by 35 feet (59.4 meters by 10.6 meters), and can carry up to 1500 tons of cargo. The light tonnage (empty weight) was not given, but this barge might weigh in the neighborhood of 650 tons. Need a link? You got it.
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.
