A double bottom tank measures 25m x20m x 2m. Find the thrust on the tank top when pressed upto a head 16m of SW. Also find the resultant thrust on the tank bottom, and the direction that it acts, if the ship’s draft in SW is 10m.
Solution :
Volume of tank = (L X B X H)
= (25m x 20m x 2m)
Pressure = (depth x density)
= (16 x 1.025)
=16.4 t/m2
Thrust on tank top = (PX A)
= (16.4 X 500)
= 8200 t
Pressure on the tank bottom = (depth x density)
= (18 x1.025) = 8.45t/m2
Thrust act on the tank bottom = (P X A)
= (500 x 18 .45)
= 9225t
Pressure act on outside of the tank bottom = (depth x density)
= (10 x 1.025)
= 10.25t
Hence, Thrust acting = (P X A)
= (10.25 X500)
= 5125 tonnes.
Finally, Resultant thrust = (9225 -5125)
= 4100 tonnes.
sir i need stability chapter 12 and 13 situation
