    SECTION - 2

    6. A ship displaces 12000 tonne, its centre of gravity is 6.50 m above the keel and its
    centre of buoyancy is 3.60 m above the keel. If the second moment of area of the
    waterplane above the centreline is 42.5 x 103 m4 find the metacentric height.

    7. The pitch angle, measured at a distance of 2 m from the centre of the boss, was
    found to be 21.50.
    Calculate the pitch of the propeller

    8. A ship is 60 m long, 16 m beam and has a draught of 5 m in seawater, block


    coefficient 0.7 and waterplane area coefficient 0.8. Calculate the draught at which it
    will float in fresh water.

    9. A ship of 7500 tonne displacement has its centre of gravity 6.5 m above the keel.
    Structural alterations are made, when 300 tonne are added 4.8 m above the keel,
    1000 tonnes of oil fuel are then added 0.7 m above the keel.
    (a) Calculate the new position of the centre of gravity.
    (a) Calculate the final centre of gravity when 500 tonne of oil fuel are used.

    10. A ship 120 m long has a wetted surface area o f  2800 M2. The frictional
    resistance is given by
    Rf =f SVn N. If n=1.825 and F =0.417 + 0.773 / (L+2.862). Calculate the resistance
    in kN at speeds of 8 knots and 16 knots.
