Question
Problem (4.18): A vessel has a length of 60 m, width 12 m and a displacement of 19620 kN. When a
eight of294.3 KN is rolled off transversely across the deck through a distance of 6.5 m, the vessel
mts through S°. The second moment of area of the water line section about its fore-and-oft axis is 75
per cent of that of the circumscribing rectangle. The center of buoyancy is 2.75 m below the water
line. Find:
(i) The metacentric height
(ii) The position of center of gravity of the vessel.
Take specific weight of sea water 10.104 kN/m*
[Ans. (i) 1.1145 m (ii) 0.53 m below water surface]
