Exercise -6

Answer 1
Given:1. Displacement = 8800t
2. KG = 6.2m
3. Loaded (w) = 200t (KG = 1.7m)

Displacement = 8800t

KG = 6.2m

w = 200t
KG = 1.7m

KG of vessel
= 6.2m
KG of lower hold =- 2.0m
D

Final Displacement (W) = Displacement of vessel + cargo
Final Displacement (W) = 8800t + 200t
Final Displacement (W) = 9000t

Answer 4
Given:1. Displacement = 11500t
2. KG = 6.3m
3. Discharged (w) = 500t (KG = 3 m)

Displacement = 11500t

KG = 6.3m

w = 500t
KG = 3m

KG of vessel
= 6.3m
KG of lower hold =- 3.0m
D

Displacement (W) = 9009t

KG of ship = 8.7m
Final KG required = 9m
KG of Upper Deck = 15m
w=?
Displacement = 9009t
