The chapter discusses calculation of moment of statical stability for ships using parameters like displacement, GM, heel angle, GZ, KM, etc.

Moment of statical stability is calculated as GM * Sinθ * displacement.

Moment of statical stability depends on factors like displacement, GM, heel angle, GZ, KM, metacentric radius.

TRANSVERSE STATICAL STABILITY


Chapter 9
Transverse Statical Stability
Exercise -9

Answer 1
Given:1. Displacement of vessel (w) = 10000t
2. GM = 0.4m
3. Heel = 5
Moment of statical stability = GM * Sin * w
Moment of statical stability = 0.4 * Sin(5) * 10000
Moment of statical stability = 348.6tm
Moment of statical stability of ship when she is heeled by 5 is 348.6tm

Answer 2
Given:1.
2.
3.
4.

Displacement (w) = 12000t


Heeled = 6
Righting lever (GZ) = 0.1m
KM = 8.2m

Moment of statical stability = GZ * w


Moment of statical stability = 0.1 * 12000
Moment of statical stability = 1200tm
GZ = GM * Sin
0.1 = GM Sin(6)
0.1 = GM
Sin(6)
0.957m = GM
KM = KG + GM

CHAPTER 9
TRANSVERSE STATICAL STABILITY
8.2 = KG + 0.957
8.2 0.957 = KG
7.243m = KG
KG of ship is 7.243m

Answer 3
Given:1.
2.
3.
4.

Displacement (w) = 14000t


Heeled by 8
Moment of statical stability = 400tm
KG = 7.3m

Moment of statical stability = GM * Sin * w


400

= GM * Sin (8) * 14000

400
Sin(8) * 14000
0.205m

= GM

= GM

KM = KG + GM
KM = 7.3 + 0.205
KM = 7.505m
KM of the ship is 7.505m

Answer 4
Given:1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Displacement = 8000t
KB = 3.5m
KM = 6.5m
KG = 6m
Heel = 20

KM = KG + GM
6.5 = 6 + GM

CHAPTER 9
TRANSVERSE STATICAL STABILITY
6.5 6 = GM
0.5 = GM
KM = KB + BM
BM = KM KB
BM = 6.5m 3.5
BM = 3m
Moments of statical stability = w * Sin (GM + 1 BM Tan2)
2
Moments of statical stability = w * Sin * ((0.5) + (1 * 3 * Tan2(20))
2
Moments of statical stability = 8000 * 0.342 * 0.699
Moments of statical stability = 1912.5tm
Moments of statical stability of ship is 1912.5tm

Answer 5
Given:1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Displacement (w) = 4000t


KG = 5.1m
KB = 2.1m
KM = 5.5m
Heel = 24

KM = KG + GM
KM KG = GM
5.5 5.1 = GM
GM = 0.4m
KM = KB + BM
KM KB = BM
5.5 2.1 = BM
3.4m = BM

CHAPTER 9
TRANSVERSE STATICAL STABILITY
Moments of statical stability = w * Sin (GM + 1 BM Tan2)
2
Moments of statical stability = w * Sin * ((0.4) + (1 * 3.4 * Tan2(20))
2
Moments of statical stability = 4000 * 0.407 * 0.737
Moments of statical stability = 1199.8tm
Moments of statical stability of ship is 1199.8tm
