(family) (first) (middle)
Ans. - A body at rest in a fluid is acted upon by a force pushing upward called the
buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body
displaces.
Q2. From the figures below explains why TPC varies with different draughts. 5
points
Ans. - As weights are loaded on board a vessel, it will gradually sink lower in the
water. The amount of weight which will sink the vessel 1 cm deeper in the
water, that is, the weight which will increase the draft by 1 cm is called the
tons per centimeter immersion (TPC).
Problem Solving: (5 points each) Complete solution is a must.
Q3. A block of steel has dimensions 3m x 2m x 1m and density of 7.96 t/m³.
a) Calculate the mass of the block. ANS. 47.76 tons
Mass x Density = 47.76 tons
(3x2x1) 7.96t/m 3
Q5. A box-shaped vessel has the following particulars: Length 86m, breadth
18.2m, depth 10m and floats at a draught of 3.6m in salt water.
a) Calculate the Displacement of the vessel. ANS. 5775.588 Tons
b) At what draught will the vessel float if it is towed into dock water RD
1.012? ANS. 3.646 M
c) 300 tons of Rock Salt is now loaded into the vessel while it is floating in
the dock water. Calculate the new volume of displacement. ANS.
6003.545 m³.
Q6. A ship floats at an even keel draught in salt water of 3.86m. The length and
breadth of the waterline is 84.0m and 14.0m respectively. If the block
coefficient is 0.742, calculate:
a) The displacement of the ship. ANS. 3452.410 Tons
Displacement = (L x B x D x Cb) x p
= (84.0m x 14.0m x 3.86m x 0.742)1.025
= 3452.410 tons
b) The draught of the ship when floating in dock water RD 1.006 (assuming
that the Cb does not change between the ranges of draughts concerned)
ANS. 3.933 M
Q7. A ship is loading in dock water RD 1.012 and has a mean draught of 7.16m.
The TPC in salt water for the same draught is 17.820. Calculate the final
draught after 264 tons has been loaded. ANS 7.310 m
CW = WPA
LxB
WPA = L x B x CW
= 76.20m x 13.94m x 0.782
= 830.662m^2
b) How much cargo must be loaded on the ship to increase the draught by
0.20m? ANS. 168.1 Tons
Q9. A ship’s water plane area has half-ordinates from aft to forward as follows
0.6m, 1.5m, 1.6m, 1.4m, and 0.0 m. if the half-ordinates are equally spaced at
4.2m apart calculate:
A. the total water plane area ANS. 43.12 m²
ORDINATE SM AREA
0.6m 1 0.6
1.5m 4 6.0
1.6m 2 3.2
1.4m 4 5.6
0.0m 1 0.0
Sum = 15.4
Area = ⅓ x h x sum
= ⅓ x 4.2 x 15.4
= 21.56m^2
B. the TPC if the ship is floating in salt water (RD 1.025) ANS. 0.442
Q10. Using the hydrostatic particulars determine the displacement, and TPC
values for the ship when floating at a draught of 6.30m in:
A. salt water (RD 1.025) ANS:
B. fresh water (RD 1.000) ANS:
C. dock water (RD 1.012) ANS:
Note: For problem no. Q10 refer to MV Pepetone Hydrostatic Table provided by
the instructor in Electronic Format.
