SECTION – II
Q6. A. Describe how the distribution of mass within the ship affects the rolling period;
B. A ship of 14000 tonne displacement is 125 m long and floats at draughts of 7.9 m forward and 8.5 m
aft. The TPC is 19, GML 120 m and LCF 3 m forward of midships. It is required to bring the vessel to an
even keel draught of 8.5m. Calculate the mass which should be added and the distance of the distance of
the centre of the mass from midships.

Q7. A. Explain how increase of draught and of displacement influence rolling.

B. A pontoon has a constant cross-section as shown in Fig. Given below the metacentre height is 2.5m.

Q8. A. Describe the fundamental principle of a propeller.

B. A propeller 6m diameter has a pitch ratio of 0.9, BAR 0.48 and, when turning at 110 rev/min, has a
real slip of 25% and wake faction 10.30. If the propeller delivers a thrust of 300 KN and the propeller
efficiency is 0.65. Calculate - i Blade area; ii Ship speed; iii. Thrust power; iv Shaft power v. Torque

Q9. A. Explain what is meant by: i. Wave making resistance; ii. Frictional resistance; iii. Eddy-making
resistance
B. When a ship is 800 nautical miles from port its speed is reduced by 20%, thereby reducing the daily
fuel consumption by 42 tonne and arriving in port with 50 tonne on board. If the fuel consumption in t/h
is given by the expression (0.136+0.001 V3) where V is the speed in knots, estimate:(i) The reduced
consumption per day; (ii) The amount of fuel on board when the speed was reduced(iii) The percentage
decrease in consumption for the latter part of the voyage;(iv) The percentage increases in time for this
latter period.

Q10. A. Explain how to distinguish between list and loll and describe how to return the ship to the upright
in each case.
B. A ship of 5000 tonne displacement has a double bottom tank 12m long. The ½ breadths of the top of
the tank are 5, 4 and 2m respectively. The tank has a watertight centreline division. Calculate the free
surface effect if the tank is partially full of fresh water on one side only.
