Question 1:
The GZs and angles of heel for a ship of 10,200 tonnes displacement, taken from the crosscurves for which the KG is 6 m, area as follows:
GZ (m)

70

Draw the curve of statical stability when KG = 6.25 m and metacentric height is 0.3 m. Specify
the maximum GZ, the angle of maximum GZ and the range of stability.
Ans: Max GZ= 0.39 m, Max GZ at 38o and range of stability 62o
Question 2:
A wall-sided ship in a certain condition of loading has a negative metacentric height of 76 mm.
The BM at this loading is 3.35 m. Estimate the angle of loll, and determine the positive
metacentric height at that angle.
Ans: Angle of loll = 12.025o and GM (positive) = 155 mm
Question 3:
A ship wall-sided ship at the waterline has a displacement of 10000 tonnes , a BM of 3 m and a
GM of 0.15 m. Determine the angle of heel caused by shifting 100 tonnes transversely across the
deck through 15 m.
Ans: 21.45o
Question 4:
a) A box shaped vessel length 100 m, breadth 10 m, depth 5 m displacing 2000 tonnes in
FW has KG 4.5 m and is floating in fresh water. Find the initial GM of the barge and the
GM after a weight of 500 tonnes is loaded at KG 4.0 m. Find the righting moment at 10
degrees of heel in both cases.
b) A vessel with 7250 displacement of tonnes (SW) has a KM 7.65m and a KG of 6.55m. A
weight of 120 tonnes is shifted 2.25m to port and 3.9 m upwards. If the vessel is initially
upright, calculate the resulting list.

Ans:

Before loading GM 0.667 m, after loading GM 0.183 m,

RM 231.647 t-m & 79.444 t-m
List to port 2.06o

The displacement at a draft of 7 m is 14760 tonne. Calculate the displacement at a draft of 14

m and the vertical position of centre of buoyancy (VCB) at this draft if the VCB is 3.75 at the 7
m draft.
Ans: = 45010 tonnes, VCB = 8.328 m above base
Question 6:
A box shaped vessel of L=55 m, B= 11.2m is floating at a draft of 2.75 m in sea water of = 1.026
t/m3. Find the TPC and MCTC of this vessel at this draft.
Ans: TPC = 6.32 t/cm, MCTC =28.967 t-m/cm
Question 7:
The water plane of a vessel is parabolic in nature where the length is 20 m and maximum breadth
is 8 m at mid-ships. Find the TPC and MCTC at the water plane level. Assume = 1.025 t/m3.
Ans: TPC = 1.093 tonne, MCTC = 1.089 t-m
