Chapter 4: Sailing (Numericals Solution)

Stability 1 – Chapter 4 Solutions for Exercise 4: Some important terms – displacement; deadweight; form coefficient; reserve buoyancy; Tonnes per centimetre. Solution : Area of box shape vessel = (L x B)= 120m x 15mLight draft = 4m Light displacement = (u/w volume) x ( density)= (L x b x d )x (1.025)= (120…

Solution :  Area of the flat keel plate = (10 x 2) = 20m2               Pressure = (depth x density) = (8 x 1.025) =  8.2t /m2                                 Thrust = (pressure x area)         …

Solution : Volume of rectangular log = (L x b x h)= (8m x 2m x 2m)= 32m3 Weight = (U/W volume ) x (Density of displaced water)Weight   = (8 x 2 x1.6) x(1)= 25. 6t RD = (mass / volume)= 25.6 / 32= 0.8t/m3 . Solution : Volume of rectangular log = (L x B…
