Q2. A vessel floating in sea water of density 1025 kg/m³ with a displacement of 6000 tonne has the following particulars:

Mean draught = 6 m

Centre of buoyancy above the keel (KB) = 3.305 m

Transverse metacentre above the centre of buoyancy (BM) =3.865 m

Transverse metacentric height (GM) = 0.670 m

Tonne per centimetre immersion (TPC) = 15

Calculate the mass to be added to the vessel at a Kg of 2 m to give a final transverse metacentric height of 1.0 m, assuming the vessel to be wall-sided over the affected range of draught. (16)
