QUESTION 1 :
AT A DRAFT OF 3,25 M, AN
ADDITIONAL 25 TONNES OF FRESH WATER IS
TAKEN ABOARD.
FIND NEW DRAFT.
ANSWER :
FIND APPROPRIATE VALUE TPC FOR DRAFT = 3,25M. IT'S 8,61 TONNES. SINKAGE EQUALS TONNAGE ADDED THEN DIVIDED BY TPC. NEW DRAFT EQUALS OLD DRAFT PLUS SINKAGE.
SINKAGE = LOADED
WEIGHT = 25,00 = 2,90 CM
= 0,290 M
T P C
8,61
NEW DRAFT = OLD DRAFT + SINKAGE
= 3,25 + 0,29 = 3,54 M
QUESTION
2 :
A SHIP OF 1000 TONNES DISPLACEMENT
IS FLOATING IN SEA WATER. WHAT
WILL THE
CHANGE OF DRAFT BE WHEN
SHE SAILS INTO RIVER WATER ? T P C
AT LOAD LINE IS
23,5 TONNES.
ANSWER :
1. APPARENT CHANGE
IN TONNAGE = Sg FW = 1,00
= 0,98 OR 98 %
Sg SW 1,03
2. DISPL. -- (
DISPL. x Sg FW ) = 1000 -- (
1000 x 0,98 ) = 20
Sg SW
3. INCREASE IN
DRAFT = 2. = 20
= 0,85 CM ( + )
T P C 23,5
A SHIP HAS A FRESH WATER
ALLOWANCE OF 2 CM AND THE HARBOUR SPECIFIC
GRAVITY
IS 1,010.
HOW MUCH CAN THE LOADLINE
BE SUBMERGED BEFORE PROCEEDING TO SEA ?
ANSWER :
VALUE OF SUBMERGE
= ( 1,025 -- MEASURED Sg ) * FWA
=
( 1,025 -- Sg FRESH WATER )
= ( 1,025 --
1,010 ) * 2 = 0,015 * 2
= 0,03 = 1,3 CM
( 1,025 -- 1,000 )
0,025 0,025
QUESTION
4 :
A SHIP IS 65 M LONG; 10
M IN BREADTH AND HAS A DRAFT
OF 5 M TO THE TOP OF THE
WEATHER DECK MIDSHIP. THE FREEBOARD
MIDSHIP IS 0,8 M AND THE COEFFICIENT
OF DISPLACEMENT IS 0,65. WHAT IS
HER DISPLACEMENT IN SALT WATER ?
ANSWER :
1. DRAFT -- FREEBOARD = " XXX " = 5 M -- 0,8 M = 4,2 M
2. DISPL. IN SALT
WATER = " XXX " * L
* B * COEFF. OF DISPL. =
4,2
* 65 * 10 * 0,65
1,025
1,025
= 1731,219 MT
QUESTION
5 :
A SHIP DISPLACED 6342 cu.m WHEN Sg IS MEASURED AT 1,018. DISPLACEMENT CHANGES TO 6358 cu.m . WHAT IS THE NEW Sg ?
ANSWER :
NEW Sg =
OLD DISPL. * MEASURED Sg
= 6342 * 1,018 = 1,015
NEW DISPL.
6358
QUESTION
6 :
A SHIP IS 65 M LONG; 10
M IN BREADTH AND IS FLOATING
IN SALT WATER AT DRAFT OF
5,48 M. COEFFICIENT OF FINESSE
( SOMETIMES REFFERED TO AS A BUCK COEFFICIENT
) OF
HER WATERPLANE AT THAT DRAFT
IS 0,758.
a ) FIND HER TPC
b ) WHAT WILL THE DRAFT
BE IN Sg. OF 1,018 ?
ANSWER :
a ) TPC = L
* B * COEFF.OF FINESSE = AREA = 138
*17 *0,758 = 17,78
100
100
100
b ) NEW DRAFT
= ( OLD DRAFT * OLD
Sg ) = 5,48 * 1,025 = 5,52 M
NEW Sg
1.018
A SHIP FLOATS AT A DRAFT
OF 6,88 FWD AND 6,93 AFT. HER MTC IS
105 TM AND THE
CENTRE OF FLOTATION IS ON
THE LONDITUDINAL CENTRE LINE. FIND THE
CHANGE IN
TRIM AND THE NEW DRAFT
IF A WEIGHT OF 40 TONNES IS SHIFTED
60 M FORWARD.
ANSWER :
1. CHANGE OF
TRIM = MOMENT TO CHANGE TRIM
= 40 * 60 = 22,85 CM
MTC
105,00
2. 22,85 = 11,425
CM = 0,114 M
2,00
3. FWD DRAFT =
6,88 + 0,114 = 6,994 M
AFT DRAFT = 6,93 - 0,114 = 6,816 M
