Q2. The half-ordinates(m) of a waterplane, which are 6m apart, are given by:
11,16,24,84,39,42,47,52,40,23,26,46,13,23.
Calculate and compare the areas of waterplane as given by the 1,4,1 rule, the 1,3,3,1 rule and the trapezoidal
rule

and rotational inflow factors.

Q4. Just before entering drydock a ship of 5000 tonnes mass floats at draughts of 2.7 m forward and 4.2 m aft.
The length between perpendiculars is 150 m and the water has a density of 1025 Kg/m3. Assuming the blocks
are horizontal and the hydrostatic data given are constant over the variation in draught involved, find the force
on the heel of the sternframe, which is at the after-perpendicular, when the ship is just about to settle on the
dock blocks, and the metacentric height at that instant.
Hydrostatic data: KG = 8.5 m, KM = 9.3 m, MCT1 m = 105 MNm. longitudinal Centre of flotation(LCF) = 2.7 m
aft of amidships.

Q6. A vessel of constant rectangular cross section is 60 m long and 10 m wide, it floats at a level keel draught
of 3 m and has a Centre of gravity 2.5 m above the keel. Determine the fore and aft draughts if an empty, full
width, fore-end compartment 8 m long is opened to the sea. For simplicity, a permeability of 100 per cent may
be assumed. (solve using lost buoyancy method)
