  1. STABILITY PROBLEMS NO. 1

  2. 1. You are loading a cargo of canned goods with a stowage factor of 65. If you allow 15% for broken stowage, how many tons can be loaded in a space of 55,000 cubic feet? Ans. 719 Tons

  3. 1. Solution; • Weight = Volume x Allowance • Stowage Factor • = 55,000 x 0.85 • 65 • Weight = 719.23 tons

  4. 2. What is the stowage factor of cargo of canned goods packed in cartons weighing 340 pounds and 36 cubic feet each carton? Ans. 237 ft³/ton

  5. 2. Solution: • SF = Volume • Weight / 2240 lbs. • SF = 36 ft³ • 340 tons / 2240 lbs • SF = 237 ft³/ton

  14. 7. What will be the reduction of GM on a 5,000 tons displacement ship with 6.3 KG in sea water after half of the sea water ballast is discharged from the double bottom ballast tank 22 m x 10 m x 2 m with 1.3 m KG? Ans. 0.236 m.

  15. 7. Solution: • Wt. of Ballast = L x B x D x R. Den. • = 22 x 10 x 1 x 1.025 • Wt. of Ballast = 225.5 tons • Old ∆ = 5,000 t • - 225.5 t • New ∆ = 4774.5 tons • Dist = KG of Vsl.– KG of Tank • = 6.3 m – 1.3 m • Dist = 5.0 m GG’ = W x D ∆ = 225.5 t x 5 m 4774.5 t GG’ = 0.236 m

  16. 8. The original displacement of a ship was 4,285 tons and her KG was 6.00 meters. Find her new KG after she has loaded the following weights; 800 tons at 3.6 meters above the keel, 440 tons at 7.0 meters above the keel. 110 tons at 5.8 meters above the keel, 630 tons at 3.0 meters above the keel. Ans. 5.46 m

  17. 8. Solution: • Weight KG Moments • 4,285 6.0 m 25,710 • 800 3.6 m 2,880 • 440 7.0 m 3,080 • 110 5.8 m 638 • 630 3.0 m 1,890 • 6,265 34,198 • New KG = Total Moments / Total Weights • = 34,198 / 6265 • New KG = 5.46 m

  18. 9. A vessel displacing 18,000 short tons and has a VCG of 70 ft. You dump 100 short tons of water, which had a VCG of 88 ft., what is the new KG? Ans. 69.9 feet

  19. 9. Solution: • Weight VCG Moments • 18,000 70 ft 1,260,000 • ( - ) 100 88 ft 8,800 ( - ) • 17,900 1,251,200 • New KG = Total Moments • Total Weights • New KG = 1,251,000 / 17,900 • New KG = 69.9 ft

  20. 10. A rectangular shaped vessel 200 m in length and 32 m in breadth, floats at an even keel draft of 9.0 m. The KG is 10.0 m, KB is 4.737, BM is 8.989 m. What is her GM? Ans. 3.726 m

  21. 10. Solution: • KB = 4.737 m • BM = 8.989 m ( + ) • KM = 13.726 m • KG = 10.00 m ( - ) • GM = 3.726 m

  22. 11. At a given draft, a ship of 120 meters length and 15 meters beam has a coefficient of fineness of the waterplane of 0.770. What is her TPC at this draft? Ans. 14.20 tons

  23. 11. Solution: • TPC = L x B x Cw x Rel. Density • 100 • TPC = 120 m x 15 m x 0.770 x 1.025 • 100 • TPC = 14.20 tons

  25. 12. Solution: • TPC = 1.025 x Area of Waterplane • 100 • TPC = 1.025 x 120 m x 15 m • 100 • TPC = 1845 • 100 • TPC = 18.45 tons

  26. 13. A rectangular shaped vessel 100 m in length, 20 m breadth is floating in salt water at an even keel draft of 6.0 m. A forward hold 10.0 m long was bilged. What is the TPC? Ans. 18.45 tons

  27. 13. Solution: TPC = 1.025 x Area 100 TPC = 1.025 x ( 100m – 10m ) x 20 m 100 TPC = 1.025 x 90m x 20m 100 TPC = 18.45 tons

  28. 14. A drum which is 1.5 m long and 60 cm. in diameter has mass of 20 kgs when empty. Find what will be her draft in water of density 1,024 kg/m³ If it contains 200 liters of paraffin of relative density 0.6. Ans. 0.484 m

  29. 14. Solution: Den. of Paraffin = RD of Paraffin x FW Density = 0.6 x 1,000 kgs./m³ Den. Of Paraffin = 600 kgs./m³ Mass of the Paraffin = Volume x Density = 0.2 m³ x 600 kgs./m³ Mass of the Paraffin = 120 kgs. Mass of the Drum = 20 kgs. ( + ) Total Mass = 140 kgs.

  30. 14. Solution: Vol. of water displaced = Mass / Density • =140 kgs. / 1,024 kgs./m³ • Vol. of water displaced = 0.137 m³ • Vol. of water displaced (V) = π²d • d = V / π² • d = 0.137 m³ • 3.1416 x .09 • Draft = 0.484 m

  31. 15. A box-shaped barge 16m x 6m x 5 m is floating alongside a ship in fresh water at a mean draft of 3.5 m. The barge is to be lifted out of the water and loaded on to the ship with a heavy lift derrick. Find the load in tons borne by the purchase when the draft of the barge is reduced to 2 m? Ans. 144 tons

  32. 15. Solution: • Mass of the Barge = L x W x Dr x Rel. Den. • = 16 x 6 x 3.5 x 1.0 • Mass of the Barge = 336 tons • Mass of water = 16 x 6 x 2 x 1.0 • Displaced at 2m = 192 tons • Mass of the Barge = 336 tons • Mass of Barge at 2 m = 192 tons ( - ) • Load Borne by the = 144 tons • Purchase
