Base rectangle (1 nos.) Volume= 1 x 0.3 x 0.02 = 6x10-3 m3 Self weight= 6x10-3 x 20 =0.12kn
Long trapezoid (2 nos.)
H= 0.35 m Slope height h= 0.391m Volume= 0.391 x (1/2)x (1+1.44) x 0.02 = 9.5404x10-3 Self weight= 0.1908 kn
Shorter trapezoid ( 2 nos.)
H=0.4134 Volume= 0.4134 x (1/2) x (0.3+0.65) x 0.02 = 3.9273x10-3 Self weight = 0.078546 kn Total = ( 1 x 0.12 + 2 x 0.1908 + 2 x 0.078546 ) = 0.7036 = 72 kg (approximately) BUOYANCY CALCULATION Volume of water displaced = weight of boat Top rectangle area = 0.3 m2 Bottom rectangle area= 0.936 m2 72 = 1000 (0.3 + (0.936 0.3)/0.35 x h) x h Solving the 2 degree eqn. we get. Depth of immersion, h =0.201 m Iyy = bd3/12 = 1.44 x 0.65^3 / 12 = 0.03295 m3 B.M B.G should be +ve B.M = Iyy / volume = 0.03295 / 0.1326 = 0.248
