Question
Q1. A ship of length 160 m, floats at its load draught with a displacement of 35000 tonne in sea water of density 1025 kg/m3
The longitudinal centre of buoyancy (LCB) is 1.60 m aft of midships.
In this condition, the forward half of the ship displaces 16000 tonne and has a centre of displaced volume (lcb) 30 m forward of midships.
This part of the ship is to be replaced with a new forward half of similar length, but having new immersed cross section areas, to the same load draught, as given in Table Q1.
| Section | Midships | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 9 ½ | Fb |
| Section area (m2) | 295 | 280 | 260 | 215 | 136 | 75 | 0 |
Table Q1
Calculate EACH of the following for the new condition:
(a) the displacement of the ship
(b) the longitudinal position of the ship's centre of buoyancy.
