Transverse Statical Stability

Exercise -9

Answer 1

Given:-

1. Displacement of vessel (w) = 10000t

2. GM = 0.4m
3. Heel = 5°

Moment of statical stability = GM * SinѲ * w

Moment of statical stability = 0.4 * Sin(5°) * 10000

Moment of statical stability = 348.6tm

Moment of statical stability of ship when she is heeled by 5° is 348.6tm

Answer 2

Given:-

1. Displacement (w) = 12000t

2. Heeled = 6°
3. Righting lever (GZ) = 0.1m
4. KM = 8.2m

Moment of statical stability = GZ * w

Moment of statical stability = 0.1 * 12000

Moment of statical stability = 1200tm

GZ = GM * SinѲ

0.1 = GM Sin(6°)

0.1 = GM
Sin(6°)

0.957m = GM

KM = KG + GM

8.2 = KG + 0.957

8.2 – 0.957 = KG

7.243m = KG

KG of ship is 7.243m

Answer 3

Given:-

1. Displacement (w) = 14000t

2. Heeled by 8°
3. Moment of statical stability = 400tm
4. KG = 7.3m

Moment of statical stability = GM * SinѲ * w

400 = GM * Sin (8°) * 14000

400 = GM
Sin(8°) * 14000

0.205m = GM

KM = KG + GM

KM = 7.3 + 0.205

KM = 7.505m

KM of the ship is 7.505m

Answer 4

Given:-

1. Displacement = 8000t
2. KB = 3.5m
3. KM = 6.5m
4. KG = 6m
5. Heel = 20°

KM = KG + GM

6.5 = 6 + GM

TRANSVERSE STATICAL STABILITY

6.5 – 6 = GM

0.5 = GM

KM = KB + BM

BM = KM – KB

BM = 6.5m – 3.5

BM = 3m

Moments of statical stability = w * SinѲ (GM + 1 BM Tan2Ѳ)

2

Moments of statical stability = w * SinѲ * ((0.5) + (1 * 3 * Tan2(20°))

2

Moments of statical stability = 8000 * 0.342 * 0.699

Moments of statical stability = 1912.5tm

Moments of statical stability of ship is 1912.5tm

Answer 5

Given:-

1. Displacement (w) = 4000t

2. KG = 5.1m
3. KB = 2.1m
4. KM = 5.5m
5. Heel = 24°

KM = KG + GM

KM – KG = GM

5.5 – 5.1 = GM

GM = 0.4m

KM = KB + BM

KM – KB = BM

5.5 – 2.1 = BM

3.4m = BM

TRANSVERSE STATICAL STABILITY

Moments of statical stability = w * SinѲ (GM + 1 BM Tan2Ѳ)

2

Moments of statical stability = w * SinѲ * ((0.4) + (1 * 3.4 * Tan2(20°))

2

Moments of statical stability = 4000 * 0.407 * 0.737

Moments of statical stability = 1199.8tm

Moments of statical stability of ship is 1199.8tm
