STABILITY CALCULATIONS

Question 1

TO FIND LENGTH OF A VESSEL

Answer 1

1. Breadth x Draft x RD of the water in
   which you are floating = xx,xx
2. Displacement / xx,xx = LENGTH OF
   VESSEL

Question 2

OPTION 1 - TO FIND DRAFT OF VESSEL

Answer 2

1. Depth - freeboard = DRAFT

Question 3

OPTION 2 - TO FIND DRAFT OF VESSEL

Answer 3

1. length x breadth x RD of the water in which you are floating = xx,xx
2. displacement / xx,xx = DRAFT

Question 3

TO FIND FREEBOARD

Answer 3

1. Depth - draft = FREEBOARD

Question 4

TO FIND DEADWEIGHT

Answer 4

lightship displacement - displacement at any given draft = DEADWEIGHT

Question 5

How to find the GM

Answer 5

KG - KM

Distance from the keel to the meta center minus the distance from the keel to the center of gravity

Question 6

To find load displacement

Answer 6

DEPTH - FREEBOARD
