What is Measuring Metacentric Height of Barges about?

The experiment measured the metacentric height (GMT) of a rectangular barge as its center of gravity was varied. GMT decreased as the center of gravity was raised in three cases. Case 4 added a free surface, lowering GMT further as the liquid inside shifted. Graphical GMT calculations matched mathematical results closely except in case 4, where the 50% difference was due to measurement inaccuracies. In conclusion, a lower center of gravity and splitting liquid cargo increase a vessel
