Stability – I : Chapter 7

Case – 2

Ship’s weight	KG	VM
8000t	8.2m	65600tm
(-)100t	3m	(-)300tm

Final W  = 7900t                                                                Final VM = 65300tm

We know that:-

Final KG =   (Final VM) / (Final W)
Final KG   = (65300/7900)
= 8.266m

9. On a ship of 15000t displacement kg 7.9m , a weight of 200t is loaded on the UD (KG 12m ) above the Find the KG of the ship (a) while loading , and (b) After loading .

Solution :

Case – 1

Ship’s weight	KG	VM
15000t	7.9m	118500tm
(+) 200t (while loading)	30m	(+) 6000tm

Final W  =  15200T                                                           Final  VM  = 124500tm

We know that:-

Final KG =   (Final VM) / (Final W)
Final KG = (124500/15200)
= 8.190m
