    Q A vessel has a displacement of 7000t, KG=6.40m & is upright with KM=7.9m which is
    2 constant throughout. She then loads or discharges as follows:
    - loads 592t, Kg=4.8m & 6.1m to port of centerline.
    - loads 96t, Kg=7.2m & 1.8m to port of centerline.

    - discharge 953t, Kg=5.4m & 5.6m to port of centerline.

    Q A ship is 150 m long. MCTC = 300 tm, TPC = 30, COF is 4 m abaft amidships. Present
    3 drafts are 6.1 m forward & 8.3 m aft. Find the final drafts if the following operations are
    carried out:
    4000t loaded 24 m abaft of amidships
    2000t cargo loaded, 50 m forward of amidships.
    1000t cargo discharged from 30 m forward of amidships.
    300t sea water run into AP tank, 70m aft amidships.

    Q A ship loads in fresh water to her salt water marks and proceeds along a river to a second
    4 port consuming 20 tonnes of bunkers. At the second port, where the density is 1016 kg per
    cu. m, after 120 tonnes of cargo have been loaded, the ship is again at the load salt water
    marks. Find the ship’s load displacement in salt water?

    Q A ship displaces 7400 t and her centre of gravity is on the centre line at 6.50 m above the
    5 keel. A locomotive weighing100t, is to be lifted from the quay by means of a derrick. The
    head of the derrick, when lifting, will be 25 m above the keel and 12 m to starboard of the
    centre line. Find the position of G whilst the locomotive is being lifted?
