2-1 A small boat weighing 40 LT has a submerged volume of 875 f t3 when traveling at 20 kts in

seawater. (ρ = 1.99 lb·s
f t4 ; 1 LT = 2240 lb)

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the hydrostatic support being experienced by boat.
2 ft
FBuoyancy = ρgVsub = 1.99 lb·s 3
f t4 · 32.2 s2 · 875 f t = 56,068 lb ·
1 LT
2,240 lb = 25 LT

(b) What other type of support is the boat experiencing?

In addition to hydrostatic support, this boat is experiencing hydrodynamic support/lift.

(c) Calculate the magnitude of this other type of support.

FHydrodynamic = Wboat − FBuoyancy = 40 LT − 25 LT = 15 LT

(d) What will happen to the submerged volume of the boat if it slows to 5 knots? Explain your
answer.
2
Hydrodynamic lift is proportional to Vboat . As the boat slows, the reduction in hydrodynamic
support will cause the boat weight to exceed the total lift so the boat will sink down (draft, T ,
will increase). As T increases, Vsub increases so Fbuoyancy increases until a new equilibrium is
reached at a new, deeper, draft.

2-7 For this question, use a full sheet of graph paper for each drawing. Choose a scale that gives the
best representation of the ship’s lines. Use the FFG-7 Table of Offsets given on the following page for
your drawings.

(a) For stations 0-10 draw a Body Plan for the ship up to the main deck. Omit stations 2.5 and 7.5.

(b) Draw a half-breadth plan showing the 4 ft, 12 ft, 24 ft waterlines, and the deck edge.

(c) Draw the sheer profile of the ship.
