I MB V: CE Review For Nov 2022 - Hydraulics 4

This document discusses the stability of floating bodies and provides sample problems to calculate stability. It defines key terms like metacentric height, center of buoyancy, center of gravity, righting moment, and overturning moment. Sample problems include calculating the righting or overturning moment when a ship tilts 30 degrees, determining the draft and metacentric height of a rectangular scow, and computing values for a floating wooden cone and barge. The document aims to help understand calculations related to stability of floating bodies.

Stability of Floating Bodies I


MBo = - approximate
V

θ = angle of tilting
v = volume of the wedge of immersion/emersion (m3)
s = horizontal distance between the centroids of v’s (m)
I = moment of inertia of an area which is the top view of the
body at the level of the liquid surface with respect to the axis
of tilting (m4)

B = width of the body (m).


D = draft or depth of flotation (m).
V = total volume submerged (m3).
G = center of gravity of the body in the upright position.
Bo = center of buoyancy of the body in the upright position.
Bo’ = center of buoyancy of the body in the tilted position.

Sample Problems:

Situation 1
The center of gravity of a ship in the upright position is 11.5
m above the center of gravity of the portion below water, the
displacement being 16 MN. The ship tilts 30º causing the
center of buoyancy to shift sidewise 9.2 m.

Situation 3
It is desired to float in fresh water a wooden cone, 18 cm in
diameter and 25 cm high, with the apex downward. If the sg
of the cone is 0.60:
