COG from bottom = 2.99m

Q5. A wall-sided vessel of constant water-plane area of length 105m has the following equally spaced half-ordinates of water plane:
1, 7, 3.4, 5.6, 6.7, 6.7, 5.6, 3.4 and 1.7 mtrs. When floating at an even keel draft of 4.5m, an empty compartment with transverse end bulkheads at the 6.7m ordinates is bilged. Calculate the end draft at which she would settle.

Q6. A wall sided double bottom tank of depth 1.5m has half ordinates of breadth as follows at 4m intervals commencing at the after bulkhead:

Station	0	1	2	3	4	5	6
½ ord mtr	6.1	6.0	5.9	5.7	5.4	4.9	4.3

The after bulkhead is 65m forward of the centre of floatation. Calculate the change of trim if the is filled with fuel oil density 0.95, MCTC 200 tm.
