Stability – I : Chapter 11

Ship’s wt
KG
VM
4950 t 4.85m 24007.5 tm
(+)50t 1.25m (+ )62.5 tm

Final W = 5000 t                                                    Final VM = 24070 tm

We know that:
Final KG = (Final VM)/( Final W)
Final KG = (24070/5000)
= 4.814m

Final GM = (KM –KG)
= (5.79 – 4.814) m
= 0.976m.

Tanθ = LM/(Weight x GM)
= 200/ (5000 x 0.976)
θ     =    2.34 degree

  1. A weight of 100t is discharge from a position 2.45m above the Keel and 6m to port of the centre line of a ship of w 10000t, KM 8.25m, KG 7.45m. Find the list
Solution:

Weight discharged (w) = 100t,  & KG = 2.45m
Transverse distance = 6m to part from CL
W = 10000 t,
KM = 8.25 m,
KG = 7.45m

We know that:
LM caused = (weight  x distance)
= (100 x 6) tm
= 600 tm (P)
