Stability – I : Chapter 10

  1. Given the following particulars, Find the GM fluid : W= 8800 t, tank of i = 1166 m4 is partly full of HFO of RD 0.95, KM 10.1m, KG 9.4m .
Solution:

W = 8800 t & i = 1166m4,
RD = 0.95,
KM = 10.1 m & KG = 9.0m.

GM (solid) = (KM – KG)
= (10.1 – 9.0)
= 1.1m

We know that:

FSC = (i di /W )
= (1166 x 0.95)/ 8800
= 0.126m

GM fluid = GM (solid) – FSC
= (1.1 – 0.126)
= 0.974m.

  1. On a vessel of W 16000 t, NO.4 port DB tank 20m long and 8m wide is partly full of DW ballast of RD 1.010. Find the FSC.
Solution:

W = 16000t,
L = 20m & B = 8m,RD = 1.010

We know that:

FSC = (i di / W)
FSC =( LB3 X di )/( 12 x W)
= (20 x 83 x 1.010)/(12 x 16000)
= 0.054m.
