SECTION – II
Q6. A. Describe stability requirement for dry-docking.
B. A ship of 8000 tonne displacement floats upright in seawater. KG = 7.6m and GM = 0.5m. A tank, KG is
0.6m above the keel and 3.5m from the centreline, contains 100 tonne of water ballast. Neglecting the free
surface effect, calculate the angle which the ship will heel, when the ballast water is pumped out.

Q8. The breadth of the upper edge of a deep tank bulkhead is 12 metres. The vertical heights of the
bulkhead at equidistant intervals across it are 0.3, 5, 6, 5, 3 and 0 metres respectively. Find the depth of the

Q9. A propeller has a pitch ratio of 0.95. When turning at 120 rev/min the real slip is 30%, the wake fraction
0.28 and the ship speed 16 knots. The thrust is found to be 400 KN, the torque 270 KN-m and the QPC 0.67.
Calculate:
i. The propeller diameter;
ii. The shaft power;
iii the propeller efficiency;
iv. The thrust deduction factor.

Q10. A. List the precautions necessary before an inclining experiment is carried out.
B. A box shaped vessel, 50 metres long × 10 metres wide, floats in salt water on an even keel at a draft of 4
metres. A centre line longitudinal watertight bulkhead extends from end to end and for the full depth of
the vessel. A compartment amidships on the starboard side is 15 metres long and contains cargo with
permeability 30%. Calculate the list if this compartment is bilged. KG = 3 metres.
