Q2. A ship of 25420 tonne displacement floating in sea water has 800 tonne of bunker fuel of density 895 kg / m³ in double bottom tanks which are pressed up full. In this condition the metacentric height is 0.25 m and the ordinates of the statical stability curve

Corresponding to this displacement are as shown in Table Q2.

 Table Q2

The oil is transferred to a deep tank 4.85 m long by 18.2 m wide, situated on the ship's centreline. The centre of gravity of the fuel after transfer is 6.8 m above the original centre Determine EACH Of the following for the new condition:

(a) the final effective metacentric height; (3)

(b) the angle to which the ship lists; (7)

(c) the dynamical stability at 200 angle Of heel.  (4)
