Computations 100 1. Generate the Lines plan (in AutoCAD), given a non-dimensionalized offset table. Fair it. 10 2. Close the faired Offset Table : list the closing waterlines for every station and vice-versa. 5 3. (a) Calculate the Weight, given the material is mild steel and the thickness is 20 mm. 10 Caution: Include the main deck. (b) Plot the weight distribution as a function of length. (c) Centre of Gravity : Find the VCG and LCG. Find the neutral axis of the mid-ship section. (d) Find the section modulus of the deck and the keel. 4. Calculate Hydrostatics as a function for Draught. (Submit plots) 25 (a) WPA characteristics : Area of waterplane, Cw, TPC, Ixx, Iyy. (b) Volume characteristics : Buoyancy, Centre of Buoyancy, Cb, Cp, LCB, VCB. (c) Metacentric radius : BMT, BML. (d) Metacentric height : GMT, GML. (e) Moment to change trim by 1 cm : MCT_1cm. (f) Midship section characteristics : Midship section area, Cm. 5. Calculate the Lightship Draught T and Displacement . What is the closing station for this waterline? Mention all the above hydrostatic parameters for this WL. 5 6. Strength Calculations. 20 (a) Buoyancy distribution at lightship draft as a function of length.
