Stability 1 – Chapter 4 Solutions

4. A double bottom tank 20m x 10.5m x 1.0m has a block a coefficient of 0.82. Calculate how much fuel oil of RD 0.9, it can hold .

Solution :

Given : – (L x B x H) of double bottom tank =( 20 x 10 .5 x 1)
Cb = 0.82 , RD = 0.95

We know that:

Cb   = (volume of tank) /( L x B x depth)
0.82 = (volume of tank) /(20 x 10.5×1)
volume of tank = 0.82 x ( 20 x 10.5x 1)
= 172.2 m³

Weight of oil can be calculated as :-  (volume of tank) x(density)
= (172.2 x 0.95)
= 163.59 t

5. A ship floating in SW at a draft of 8m is 110m long and 14m wide at the water line . If her block coefficient is 0,72, find her displacement. If her load displacement is 12000 t, find the DWT available .

Solution:

Given: – (L x B)  = 110m x 14m,
Present draft = 8m
Cb = 0.72

Load displacement = 12000 t ,

We know that :-

Cb = (u/w volume ) / (Lx B x D)
0.72 = (u/w volume) / (110 x 14 x8)

u/w volume  =  0.72  x ( 110 x 14 x 8 )
= 8870.4 t

DWT available   = (Load displacement  – present displacement)
= (12000 – 8870.4)
= 3129.6t.

6. A vessel of 14000t displacement is 160m long and 20m wide at the water line . If she is floating in SW at a draft of 6.1m, find her block coefficient.

Solution:

Given : – W = 14000 t ,
(L x B) of waterline = (160m x 20m),
Present draft = 6.1m

We know that :

Weight = (u/w volume )x (density of displaced  water)
14000   = (u/w volume) x 1.025
u/w volume   =  14000/ 1.025
= 13658.536 t

We know that:-

Cb   =   (u/w volume )/( Lx B x D)
Cb   =   13658.536 /(160 x 20 x6.1)
= 0.699m
= 0.7m

7. A box-shaped vessel 18m x 5m x2m floats in SW at a draft of 1.4m. Calculate her RB %.

Solution :

Given :- (L x  B x H) of box shape vessel  =(18m x 5m x 2m), Present draft = 6.1m

We know that :-

RB % =  (Above water volume )/(total volume ) x 100
Total volume can be calculated as = (L x B x D)
= 18 x 5x 2m
= 180m³ 

U/w volume = (L x B x present draft)
= 18 x 5 x 1.4
= 126m³ 

Hence, Above water volume = (180 – 126)
= 54m3

RB % = (Above water volume) / (total volume ) x 100
Hence, RB % = (543/180 x 100)
=  30%

8. A box –shaped of 2000t displacement is 50m x 10m x 7m. Calculate her RB% in FW

Solution :

Given :- W = 2000t,

 (L x B x H) of box shaped vessel = (50m x 10m x 7m)
 Total volume = 3500m³ 
W = ( u/w volume) x (density)
2000 = (u/w volume) x (1.00)
 u/w volume = 2000 m³

Above water volume = (Total volume) – (u/w volume )
                                       = (3500 – 2000)
                                       =  1500 m³                                                      

RB % = (Above water volume) / (total volume ) x 100
RB % = (1500 /3500)x 100
         = 42.857%

9. The TPC of a ship in SW is 30. Calculate her TPC in FW and in DW of RD1.018.

Solution:

We know that:-
TPC   =   (A / 100) x (density)
30   =      (A / 100) x (1.025)
A =    (30 x 100)/ 1.025
A =  2926.83 m²

TPC in FW can be determined as    = ( 2926.83/ 100)x(1)
=29.268  t/cm.

TPC in DW can be determined as  = (2926.83 / 100) x(1.018)
= 29.79 t/cm.

10. A ship is a floating a draft of 8.2m in DW of RD 1.010. If her TPC in SW is 40, find how much cargo she can load to bring her draft in DW to 8.4m.

Solution :

Given:-
RD of DW = 1.010,
Present Draft =     8.2m
Cargo can be load up to draft = 8.4m,
So, Sinkage = 0.2m = 20cm

TPC in SW = (A / 100) x (1.025)
40 = (40/100) x (1.025)
A = (40 x100)/ (1.025)
= 3902.44m²

Now, TPC in DW = (A/100) x (1.010)
= (3902.44 / 100) x(1.010)
=39.41 t/cm.

Cargo can be load = (39.41 x 20)
= 788.2 t
