P7 3B Bernardo Kathryne

1. The document provides three examples calculating stability of floating bodies. It gives the calculations to find the location of the metacenter, metacentric height, and righting/overturning moment. 2. For a loaded scow, it calculates the initial metacentric height and determines the maximum single weight that can be moved over the side without sinking. 3. For a cylindrical tank floating in mercury, it finds the values of the metacenter location, metacentric height, and states whether it is stable or not.

1. If the center of gravity of a ship in upright position is 10m. above the center of gravity of
the portion under water (Bo) , the displacement being 1000 metric tons (1 metric ton =
1000 kg) and the ship is tipped 30 degrees causing the center of buoyancy to shift
sidewise by 8m.
A. Find the location of metacenter from Bo
B. Find the metacentric Height
C. What is the value of the righting or overturning moment in kg-m
.

SOLUTION:

A.) Location of metacenter from Bo

𝑴𝑩𝑶 = 𝟏𝟔 𝒎

B.) Metacentric height

𝐺𝑀 = 𝑀𝐵𝑂 − 𝐵𝑂

𝐺𝑀 = 16 − 10

𝑮𝑴 = 𝟔 𝒎

C.) Value of righting or overturning moment

𝑥 = sin(30) ∗ 6 𝑚 = 3𝑚

𝑅𝑀 = 1000 ∗ 103 𝑘𝑔 ∗ 3𝑚

𝑹𝑴 = 𝟑𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝒌𝒈 − 𝒎
2. A loaded scow has draft of 1.8 m in fresh water, when erect. The scow is 6m wide, 12 m. Long
and 2.4 m. high. The center of gravity of the scow is 1.8 m above the bottom along the vertical
axis of symmetry

A. Determine the initial metacentric height


B. What is the max single weight that can be moved transversely from the center of the
unloaded scow over the side without sinking the scow?

SOLUTION:

A.) Initial metacentric height

3. A cylindrical tank having a diam of 40cm. And 20cm height floats in mercury in a vertical position,
its depth of immersion being 8 cm.

A. Determine the value of Mbo in cm


B. Determine the metacentric height in cm.
C. State if it is stable or not.

SOLUTION:

A.) Value of Mbo
