Given: A floating platform in the ocean supports a large structure. The platform is $80$ feet wide and $100$ feet long. The volume

of seawater displaced by the platform is $48,000f{t}^3.$ Find: a$)$ The depth to which the platform is submerged in feet, b$)$ The depth

to the center of buoyancy below the waterline, in ft $.,$ and c$)$ If the center of gravity center of the combined platform$/$structure is

$1$ ft above the center of buoyancy, determine if buoyant stability will be maintained through analysis of the metacentric height.
