Stability 1 – Chapter 6 Centre of Gravity

Solution: Given:- Weight = 8800t,Original KG =6.2m,Cargo loaded = 200t,KG = 1.7m Ship’s weight KG VM 8800 t 6.2m 54560tm (+) 200 load 1.7m Final VM  54900 tm Final W – 9000 t                                               Final VM  54900 tm So, we can calculate Final KG = (Final VM/ Final W)Final KG = (54900 / 9000)= 6.1m Here…

Stability Chapter 1 – Density and relative density Solutions.

SOLUTION: Given : L =16m , B = 15m, H = 6m, RD=0.7 =16x15x6 = 1440m3 We know that : Density = Mass /Volume0.78 =Mass/1440m3 Hence, Mass =1123.2 tonnes SOLUTION: Given: Diameter = 8m, Radius = (d/2)m=(8/2)m =4mHeight =10mMass = 400tRD =0.9 We know that: Volume of the cylindrical tank = π2h= 3.1416 x 4…
