Exercise -6

Answer 1

Given:-

1. Displacement = 8800t
2. KG = 6.2m
3. Loaded (w) = 200t (KG = 1.7m)

Displacement = 8800t

KG = 6.2m
w = 200t
KG = 1.7m

KG of vessel = 6.2m
KG of lower hold =- 2.0m
D↓ = 4.2m

Final Displacement (W) = Displacement of vessel + cargo

Final Displacement (W) = 8800t + 200t

Final Displacement (W) = 9000t

Answer 4

Given:-

1. Displacement = 11500t
2. KG = 6.3m
3. Discharged (w) = 500t (KG = 3 m)

Displacement = 11500t

KG = 6.3m
w = 500t
KG = 3m

KG of vessel = 6.3m
KG of lower hold =- 3.0m
D↓ = 3.3m

Final Displacement (W) = Displacement of vessel - cargo

Final Displacement (W) = 11500t - 500t

Final Displacement (W) = 11000t

Answer 5

Given:-

1. Cargo shifted (w) =500t

2. D = 15m ↓
3. Displacement (W) = 10000t

w = 500t

Displacement = 10000t

D ↓ = 15m

GG’ = w * d
W

GG’ = 500 * 15
10000

GG’ = 0.75m↓

KG of the ship will decrease because cargo has been shifted vertically downwards.

Answer 6

Given:-

1. Displacement (W) = 9000t

2. KG of ship = 10.5m
3. Cargo shifted (w) = 300t
4. KG of Lower Hold = 2.5m
5. KG of Upper Deck = 11.5m

w = 300t

Displacement = 9000t

KG = 11.5m

KG = 10.5m

KG = 2.5m

Final KG of vessel = 10.8m

Final KG of vessel is 10.8m

Answer 7

Given:-

1. Displacement (W) = 9009t

2. KG of ship = 8.7m
3. Final KG required = 9m
4. KG of Upper Deck = 15m

w=?

Displacement = 9009t

KG = 15m

KG = 8.7m

Let cargo to be loaded = w

KG upper deck =15m

KG of vessel =-8.7m
D↑ = 6.3m

Final KG required = 9m
KG of vessel =-8.7m
GG’ ↑ = 0.3m

GG’ = w * d
(W+w)

0.3 = w * 6.3
9009 + w

0.3(9009+w) = 6.3w

2702.7 + 0.3w = 6.3w

2702.7 = 6.3w – 0.3w

2702.7 = 6w

2702.7 = w

450.45t = w

Cargo to load to bring required KG to 9m is 450.45t
