8 Simpson’s Rule For each Simpson’s Rule problem, show all solution steps in your work
(i.e. diagram, differential element and its dimensions, labels, general calculus equation, general
Simpson equation, numeric substitution, and final answer) 9. Using Simpson’s Rule calculate the
areas of the following objects: a. Right triangle with base length of “a” and a height of length “b”. b.
Semi-circle of radius “r”. c. Equilateral triangle with each side having length “a”. Section 2.9
Waterplane Area 10. The FFG-7 table of offsets gives waterplane areas calculated using all stations.
Using data for stations 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10, calculate the waterplane area at the DWL and compare
your result with the given waterplane area. 11. Using the FFG-7 table of offsets, calculate the
sectional area of station 3 up to the DWL. 12. Using the FFG-7 table of offsets, calculate the area of
station 6 up to the 24 foot waterline. 13. Using the sectional areas for stations 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10
calculate the following: a. Submerged volume of the FFG-7 up to the design waterline. b.
Displacement in salt water. c. Displacement in fresh water. 14. Using the FFG-7 table of offsets, and
stations 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10, calculate the location of the longitudinal center of flotation (LCF) of the
DWL referenced to amidships.
