Stability – I : Chapter 11

  1. If 200t cargo was shifted downwards by 10m and to starboard by 5m on a ship of W 10000t , KG 7.0m, KM 7.4m, find the list.
Solution :-

Given :
Cargo shifted (w)   = 200t,
Distance  = 10m,
d = 5m from CL to stbd
W = 10000 t ,
KG = 7.0m &
KM = 7.4m

Ship’s wt KG VM
10000 t 7.0m 70000 tm
200t (shift) 10m (-) 2000 tm

     Final W =10000t                                             Final VM= 68000 tm

We know that:
Final KG = (final VM)/ (Final W)
Final KG = (68000/10000)
= 6.8m

Final GM= (KM – KG)
= (7.4 – 6.8)
= 0.6m

Listing moment (LM) = (weight x distance )
= (200 x 5)
= 1000tm

tanθ =  LM/(W x GM)
= 1000 /(10000 x 0.6)
= 9.46 degree
