1. The following particulars of a ship are given:

Length = 122m
Breadth = 15.5m
Draft = 5m
Displacement = 6783tonne (Salt Water)
Midship section Co-efficient = 0.95
a. When the ship obtains the speed of i) 13.402 knots ii) 26.804 knots iii) 40.206 knots
then how many maximum wavelength are contained in its length.
b. Again when obtains speed of i) 12.5 knots ii) 14 knots iii) 20 knots ; will the ship be
considered is operating in favorable condition in respect of wave making resistance?
In cases when the ship is not operating in favorable condition what measures should
be taken?
2. A destroyer has length, breadth and draft of 116.77m, 12.32m, 4.02m respectively. The
displacement in salt water is 3150 tonne. And the wetted surface area is 1580.16 m2. At a
speed of 35 knots the effective power is 22313 KW. Calculate :
i. The ratio of viscous resistance to total resistance for ship.
ii. The ratio of viscous resistance to total resistance for the model.
iii. The total resistances in Newton of the model at the corresponding speed if the
model is 6.1 m long.
Assume that a) Ct = Cv + Cw

b) Cv = Cfo [1+19(Cb . )]
0.075
c) Cfo = ( 2
10 2)
for the model = 1000 kg/m3
= 1.126 106 2 /
for the ship = 1025 kg/m3
= 1.192 106 2 /
3. A double decker passenger has the following particulars :
Length = 33.54 m
Breadth = 7.01 m
Depth = 2.134 m
Draft = 1.524 m
Speed = 11 knots
Engine power = 335.82 KW
Super structure dimension:
1st deck length breadth height = 31.1m 7.01m 1.98 m
2nd deck same as 1st deck
Wheel house - length breadth height = 4.57 m 4.27m 1.88 m
Funnel base diameter height above 2nd deck = 2.13 m 2.44 m
 From the above vessel two types of superstructure construction is tried. One is
constructed with a flat and practically not rounded front and the other with completely
streamlined form. The total propulsive efficiency is to be 0.80. The resistance co-efficient
with zero angle of attack amounts to approximately as follows:
a) For flat and practically not rounded front = 0.86
b) For completely streamlined form = 0.20

Calculate percentage saving in total power by adopting the second form of superstructure
construction in following wind condition.

i. In calm weather
ii. Head wind of 8.5 m/s (fresh breeze Beaufort 5)
iii. Head wind of 17 m/s (freash gale Beaufort 8)
iv. Head wind of 28.32 m/s (storm Beaufort - 10)
4. Using Schlichtings diagram to estimate the speed is water 42 ft deep of the following
vessel if the e.h.p. can be maintained at that required for 16 knots in deep water.
Deep water particulars are:
Midship area = 2110 ft2
Speed 16 knots 17 knots
e.h.p 4940 5960
