Q1. A ship 160 m in length has a load displacement of 20500 tonne and floats in water of density 1025 kg/m3. The load waterplane is defined by equally spaced half breadths as shown in Table Q1.
The following particulars are also available:
Centre of buoyancy above the keel (KB) = 4.264 m
Centre of gravity above the keel (KG) = 7.561 m
Centre of lateral resistance above the keel = 4.050 m
A rectangle tank, partially filled with oil of relative density 0.89 has overall dimensions of 10 m by 10 m, but is divided into two equal tanks by an oiltight longitudinal bulkhead.
Calculate EACH of the following:
(a) The effective metacentric height; (12)
(b) The angle to which the ship will heel when turning on a circular course of 400 m diameter at a speed of 16 knots. (4)
