SHIP STABILITY NOTES AND EXAMPLES (POR THE B.O.T. EXAMINATIONS) : iy KEMP & YOUNG KANDY PUBLICATIONS Tae a eet PREFACE In this book, which has beon written as & companion volume to "Ship Construction Sketches and Notes, we have endeavoured to convey to the reader, as simply «s posible some of the principles of stability as applied to ships. ‘The testis presented in note form, freely interspersed with diagrams (some with colour) and worked examples, so tha iti concise and easily understand, Although writlen primarily for those who will be studying for the Board of Trade Examinations, we believe that this book will be very useful to all those concerned with the loading af ships. We hope that the contents will enable many more people to make full use ‘of the stability information supplied by the shipbuilder. Test questions have not been inilided as those in “The Self Examiner for Masters and Mates” published by Messrs, Brown, Son and Ferguson Lud are adequrte, ‘We thank those who have helped with the checking ofthe worked examples and with the poof reading.

SHIP STABILITY NOTES AND EXAMPLES Page 1 7 Principles of Flotation ARCHIMEDES stated that every Mloating body displaces its own weight of the Liquid in ‘which 1 floats. tis also a fact that when a body is placed In a liquid the immersed portion of the body’ will displace its own volume of the liquid. I the body displaces its own weight of the Liguld before it displaces ite own total volume then it will float in that Tiguid, otherwise it will sink Before applying Archimedes‘ Principle to ships, the following definitions should bbe known:= DENSITY is mass per unit volume and is usually expressed as ounces per cuble foot. SPECIFIC GRAVITY or relative density is a comparison between the density of a sub- ance and the density of fresh water. “This is simply a ratio or number. ‘The density of iron is about 7,800 ounces per cubic foot, whereas fresh water has a density of 1,000 ounces per cubic foot. "This means te S.G. of iron is 7.8. 1{ we Immerse one cubic foot of iron in fresh water it will displace one cubic foot of the water which weighs 1,000 ounces, but as the iron is not displacing its own Weight of water {€ will not float! Now consider the same weight of iron but with an tnlarged volume, say 2 cubic feet (an air space of one cubic foot having been introduced {n the middle of the iron). On immersing this in fresh water, 2 cubic feet of water ‘weighing 2,000 ounces is displaced, ‘There is still an insufficient weight of water being displaced for the iron to float so we must increase the volume of the iron still further. ‘When the volume reaches 7.8 cuble feet (weight still 7,800 ounces) the amount of fresh ‘water displaced will be 7.2 cubic feet and this will weigh the same as the iron. ‘The iron will now just float, A further Increase in its volume will allow it to float with a part out of the water. We can now summarise by saying that if the 8.G. of the body taken as a whole 4s less than the §.G. of the liguld in which it is placed then it will float in that liqutd. RESERVE BUOYANCY is virtually the watertight volume above the waterline. It is necessary to have a certain reserve of buoyancy as when in a seaway with the ends for the middle unsupported, the vessel will sink down to displace the same volume as she does when in emooth water. ‘This could result In the vessel being overwhelmed. ‘This {8 illustrated below.

When cargo is in a compartment only part of the volume of the compartment will bbe available for water. The cargo will also contribute to the waterplane area, PERMEADILITY is the relationship between the volume of a compartment and the volume avallable for water should the compartment be bilged. It is usually expressed as a percentage. WORKED EXAMPLE 3 ‘A box shaped vessel length 280 feet, Dreadth 27 feet, depth 21 feet, oating at a draught of 12 feet, has a midship compartment 40 feet long.
