Problem
i. A barge is floating in freshwater. It has length 143 m, beam 58 m, and draft 5.35 m. Find its displacement in freshwater, and its new draft if it moves into water with RD = 1.012 t/m3?
ii. A box-shaped vessel floating in salt water is 46-m long, 11 m wide, and has a light draft of 0.77 m. How many tonnes of cargo must be loaded to increase the draft to 4.4 m?
iii. The length of a vessel is 203 m, breadth 59 m, and the waterplane area is 7,394 m2. What is the vessel's waterplane coefficient, Cw?
iv. Find the block coefficient Cb of a ship with underwater volume of 23,650.75 m3, 145-m long, 34-m wide, a draft of 5.75 m?
v. Suppose a vessel is being loaded in a salt-water port, where the waterplane coefficient Cw is 0.65 the length of the vessel at the waterline L is 75 m, the beam of the vessel at the waterline B is 14 m Find the TPC?
