Ship weighs 127 MN. On filling the ship's boats on one side with water weighing 600 kN with the mean distance of the boats from the centre line of the ship being 10 m, the angle of displacement of the plumb line is 2°16'. The metacentric height will be nearly (Take sin 2°16 = 0.04, cos 2°16' = 0.9992 and tan 2°16' = 004)
