BFPECT OF BEAN AND
PREEBOARD ON GZ CURVE.
‘The beam and the freeboard inéluence
oz considerably aa illustrated below, in
the following figure, curves A, B and ¢
belong to three different bor-ehaped
vessels wiose draft, XG fluia and volume
of displacement are the samc,

ship ats deck edge inmerses at 15" heel.
Ship B ‘has the sane breadth ao ship A
but) hag a greater freeboard. Ae seen
from the following figure, the GZ values
of ship B ara the sane as that of ship A
until “15¢"- the heel at which A's dack
edge immerses, On heeling further, the
Gz of ship B is greater than that of
ship A for the sane angle of heel. This
fact shows sp clearly on inspecting
95
curves A and 8 in the foregoing figure.
The range of stability of ship B ia
greater, than that of ship A, because of
its greater freeboard.
Fo cua upr~ Grater freeboard seans:
(4) No change in raitial pluia cn.
GA) Deck edge incerses at a greater
angie of heal,
(444) Gz values unaffected until the
deck edge imterses but, there
after, GZ values are greater.
(iv) Greater range of stability.
Effect of bean on G2:
Ship Cy having the sane freeboard as
ship A, has greater bean (breadth). For
ship-shapes, ON = T/V § for box~shapes,
it is simplified a0 BM = B°/12d, a8
explained in chapter 19 of Ship
Stability 11. Hence the GZ values of
ship ¢ are groater thaa those of ahip 2,
at all angles of heal.96
As apparent from the following figure,
gho eck edge of the broader shig
inserses at a smaller angle of heel than
that of a narrower ship. The canga ‘or
