Q.1 A ships water plane is 80m long the breadths commencing from fwd are as follows: 0,
3.05, 7.1, 9.4, 10.2,
10.36, 10.3, 10.0, 8.84, 5.75 and 0m respectively. The space between the first three and last
three ordinates is
half of the other ordinates. Calculate the area of water plane and its position of the centre
of floatation.
Q.2 A vessel of L 148 m, LCF 70 m, draft forward 8.00 m, draft aft 9.80 m, TPC 32, MCTC =
264 lightly grounds
on gently sloping seabed. Soundings taken at that instant showed forward depth as 8.00 m
and aft depth as
10.9m. Find the draft after tide falls by a. 30cm b.2.00m.
Q.3 M.V. ‘Hindship’ berthed in a dock where RD of water is 1.007, at a draft of F: 7.87m, A:
8.32m, KG 7.45m,
FSM 970 mt. She discharged 410 t of cargo from 2 TD. A 60t case is shifted from deck, Kg
14.7m, LCg 58.6m to
No.2 Hold. 110 t water kg 2.77m, LCg 16.23 m was received in No.8 (P & S) tanks, filling
them completely.
