    The document discusses calculating the longitudinal center of buoyancy (LCB) and longitudinal center of flotation (LCF) for a canoe. The LCB is calculated as -0.46m based on the underwater volume. The LCF is calculated as -0.67 using Simpson's rule based on station positions, section moduli, and underwater volume data from a table. Keel and rudder characteristics including area, volume, and displacement are also provided.

    LCB to be calculated based on the underwater volume.

    LCB = 2/3 [(SM*Az*x) / Vc] = -0.46m

    **Noticed that the submerged volume of canoe body of this question is different from question 2 but it
    is just a small difference.In this project, submerged volume of canoe body based on constant Cm is used
    to estimate its LCB and submerged volume of canoe body based on C b is used for displacement
    calculation.
    Question 4

    Based on the info from table in Question 3, LCF is calculated using simpsons rule.
    LCF = 2/3*{(SM*y*x)/ [2.3*(SM*y)]} = 2/3*[-10.32/ (2/3*15.41)] = -0.67
    02 Keel and Rudder Characteristics

    Question 5

    Area of Keel = 0.5 (2+1)*2 = 3m2

    Volume of Keel = 0.7*3*0.15 = 0.315m3

    Displacement of Keel = 0.315*1025 = 323kg


    Area of Rudder = 1.2*0.4 = 0.48m2

    Volume of Rudder = 0.48*0.13*0.7 = 0.0437m3

    Displacement of Rudder = 0.0437*1025 = 44.79kg

    Displacement of entire appended boat = 323kg + 44.79kg + 6109kg = 6476.79kg
