Q3. The following particulars relate to a ship of length 220 m and breadth 36 m when fully loaded to an even keel draught of 12.4 m in sea water of density 1025 kg/m3.
Displacement = 85000 tonne
waterplane area coefficient (C„) = 0.82
longitudinal centre of flotation from midships (LCF) = 2 m aft
longitudinal metacentric height GML = 242 m
The ship may be considered to be wall sided in the region of the waterline.
Prior to the final loading operation, the draughts are 12.65 m aft and 11.00 m forward and the following two holds are available for the remaining cargo to be loaded:
No. 1 hold with lcg 60 m forward of midships
NO. 4 hold with lcg 35 m aft of midships
Calculate the masses of cargo to be loaded into the two holds to bring the ship to its fully
loaded even keel draught. (16)
