(a) With aid of a simple sketch, show the normal positions of centre of gravity of a stable ship relative to keel, centre of buoyancy and meta centre. (6)

(b) A ship has 300 t of cargo in the hold, 24 m forward of the midships. The displacement of the vessel is 6000 t and its centre of gravity is 1.2 m forward of midships. Find the new position of the centre of gravity if this cargo is moved to an after hold, 40 m from midships. (10)
