NB: (A) Attempt any six questions. All Questions carry equal marks.
Q 1. (a) Define ‘MASS’, ‘WEIGHT’, ‘DENSITY’ and ‘SPECIFIC GRAVITY’.
(b) A tank 10 m deep has vertical sides. Its bottom consists of a triangle 12 m x 12 m x 10 m. Find the mass of oil
(of RD 0.8) to be loaded, allowing 3% of the volume of oil loaded for expansion. State the ullage on completion of
loading.
Q 2. (a) Define Buoyancy and Reserve Buoyancy.
(b) A cylinder 2 m in diameter and 10 m long floats in FW, with its axis horizontal, at a draft of 0.6 m. Find its mass.
Q 3. (a) Define TPC and and explain why it varies at different Draughts. Prove that: TPC=Aw X ρ / 100.
(b) List and Explain all ‘Coefficient of Forms’ with the help of sketches.
Q 4. (a) Explain the term ‘Fresh Water Allowance’ with the help of the relevant sketch and prove, FWA = Δ / (4XTPC).
(b) A vessel is floating at 7.8 m draft in DW of RD 1.010. TPC is 18 and FWA is 250 mm. the maximum permissible
draft in SW is 8.0 m. find the DWT available.
Q 5. (a) 600 tonnes of cargo was discharged from a vessel from the upper deck 11m above the keel. If the original KG
and displacement were 6 m and 12600 tonnes, calculate the final KG.
(b) On a ship of 4,950 t displacement, KG 9.2 m, the ship’s jumbo derrick is used to load a weight of 50 t, from the
wharf, on to the UD (KG 8 m). if the head of the derrick is 25 m above the keel, calculate the KG of the ship (a)
when the weight is hanging by the derrick on the centre line but 2 m above the UD and (b) after loading.
Q 6. (a) Define ‘List’ and ‘Heel’ and prove the formula that List θ of a Ship is given by tan θ= (wxd) / (ΔXGM).
(b) A ship of W 9000 t, KG 8.3 m loads 600 t of cargo (KG 4.0 m, 3 m to port of the centre line) and discharges 400
t of cargo (KG 9.0 m, from 5 m to port of the centre line). 200 t of cargo is then shifted upwards by 5 m and to
star board by 8 m. 300 t of cargo is then shifted 1 m downwards and 4 m port. Find the list if the final KM is 8.95 m.
Q 7. (a) A box barge of length ‘L’, breadth ‘b’ floats at a even keel draught ‘d’, calculate the height of metacentre above
keel.
(b) A vessel of constant triangular cross section has a depth of 12 m and a breadth of 15 m on deck. Calculate the
height at which vessel will become unstable if the centre of gravity is 6.675 m above keel.
Q 8. (a) Define ‘Trim’, ‘Even keel’, ‘trim by Stern’ and ‘Centre of flotation’.
(b) A ship leaves port drawing 9 m fwd and 9.8 m aft. LBP 170 m, MCTC 160 tm, TPCC 24 & HF 1 m fwd. On
passage it consumes the following:
520 t HFO from No: 2 DBT, HG 50 m fwd,
200 t HFO from No: 8 DBT, HG 60 m aft,
300 t FW from No: 3 DBT, HG 30 m fwd.
How much FW must be transferred between the peak tanks, 150 m apart, to bring the trim to 0.3 m by the stern?
State the final drafts fwd and aft.
Q 9. (a) Explain Free Surface Effect.
(b) Mathematically prove the effect of free surface by transverse subdivisions is nil and longitudinally subdivisions is
given by a formula “Lb3 / {(n+1)2X12X }”, where = volume of displacement.
