Chapter 13: Great Circle 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: 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…

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)         …
