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.

What is the stability of a crane mounted on a barge?

You'll need specifics to calculate the stability of a crane mounted on a barge. The crane has a given mass, a given height (depending on the manner in which it is operated), and a given mechanical moment. This is based on the mass, size and shape of the crane as it is deployed, and also the size and shape of the barge. Certainly the manner in which the crane is placed on the barge will have to be considered.


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.
