Angle of loll

Exercise -19

Answer 1

Given:-
GM
1 = -0.300 m
BM
2 = 5.000 m

√
TanѲ = -2 * GM

BM

√
TanѲ = -2 * -0.300

5.000

TanѲ = √ 0.120

TanѲ = 0.346

Ѳ= 19.107 °

Angle of loll is 19.107°

Answer 2

Given:-
1 angle of loll = 16

KB = 3.309 - 3.309 = x
0.2 0.000

KB = 3.309 m

KMT (m) = 8.180 - 8.180 = x

0.2 0.000

KMT (m) = 8.180 m

ANGLE OF LOLL

BM = KM – KB

BM = 8.18 – 3.309

BM = 4.871m

√
TanѲ = -2 * GM

BM

√
Tan 16 = -2 * GM

4.871

√
0.287 = -2 * GM

4.871

Squaring both sides, we get

0.082 = -2 * GM
4.871

-0.200 m = GM

GM = -0.200 m

Answer 3

Given:-

1. Angle of loll = 12°

2. Draft = 6.8m
3. Vertical distance = 10m

BM = KM – KB

BM = 8.076 – 3.62

BM = 4.456m

√
TanѲ = -2 * GM

BM

Page 2 of 8
 CHAPTER – 21
ANGLE OF LOLL

√
Tan 12 = -2 * GM

4.456

√
0.213 = -2 * GM

4.456

Squaring both sides, we get

0.045 = -2 * GM
4.456

-0.101 m = GM

Displacement at 6.8m = 13943t

Change in Centre of gravity required = 0.101m

GG’ = w * d
W

0.101 = w * 10
13943

140.8t = w

Weight to shift vertically downwards is 140.8t

Answer 4

Given:-

1. Dimensions of the vessel = 100 * 12 * 8

2. Angle of loll = 18°
3. Mean draft = 4m

KB of box shaped vessel = draft

2

KB of box shaped vessel = 4

2

KB of box shaped vessel = 2m

BM of box shaped vessel = b2

12 * d

Page 3 of 8
 CHAPTER – 21
ANGLE OF LOLL

BM of box shaped vessel = (12)2

12 * 4

BM of box shaped vessel = 3m

KM = KB + BM

KM = 2m + 3m

KM = 5m

√
TanѲ = -2 * GM

BM

√
Tan 18 = -2 * GM

3.000

√
0.325 = -2 * GM

3.000

Squaring both sides, we get

0.106 = -2 * GM
3.000

-0.158 m = GM

GM = -0.158 m

KM = KG + GM

5m = KG + (-0.158m)

5 + 0.158m = KG

5.158m = KG

Answer 5

Given:-

1. RD of log = 0.68

Let dimensions of log = x

So draft of log = x * 0.68

KB = draft
2

KB = 0.68x
2

KB = 0.34x

BM = b2
12 * d

BM = x2
12 * 0.68x

BM = 0.123x

KM = KB + BM

KM = 0.34x + 0.123x

KM = 0.463x

KG = height
2

KG = x
2

KG = 0.5x

KM = KG + GM

0.463x = 0.5x + GM

-0.037x = GM

0 > GM

Ship will be in angle of loll

√
Tan Ѳ = -2 * GM
BM

√
Tan Ѳ = -2 * -0.03x
0.123x

0.074
√
Tan Ѳ =
0.123

Tan Ѳ = 0.776

Ѳ = Tan-1(0.776)

Ѳ = 37.8°

Vessel will be at angle of loll at 37.8°

Answer 6

Given:-

1. Homogenous log with cross section

Let side of log = x

Let RD of log = RD

KG = height
2

KG = x
2

KG = 0.5x

KB = RD * height
2

KB = RD * x
2

KB = 0.5x * RD

BM = b2
12 * d

BM = x2
12 * x * RD

Page 6 of 8
 CHAPTER – 21
ANGLE OF LOLL

BM = x
12 * RD

BM = 0.083x

KM = KB + BM

KM = (0.5x * RD) + (0.083x)

RD

KM = KG + GM

KM – KG = GM

(0.5x * RD) + (0.083x) – 0.5x = GM

RD
For ship to have positive stability GM ≥ 0

(0.5x * RD) + (0.083x) – 0.5x ≥ 0

RD

0.5x (RD – 1) + (0.083x) ≥ 0

RD

0.5x (RD2 – RD) + 0.083x ≥ 0

RD

0.5x (RD2 – RD + 0.166) ≥ 0

RD

(RD2 – RD + 0.166) ≥ 0

RD1 = -b + √b2 – 4ac

2a

RD1 = 1 + √(1)2 – 4 * 1 * 0.166

2

RD1 = 0.789

RD2 = -b - √b2 – 4ac

2a

RD2 = 1 - √(1)2 – 4 * 1 * 0.166

2

RD2 = 0.210

RD1 > RD > RD2

Page 7 of 8
 CHAPTER – 21
ANGLE OF LOLL

0.789 > RD > 0.210

This means,

RD of the block should be more than 0.789

Or
RD of the block should be less than 0.210
