Answer 3

Given:1. Angle of loll = 12

2. Draft = 6.8m
3. Vertical distance = 10m

Displacement at 6.8m = 13943t

Change in Centre of gravity required = 0.101m
GG = w * d
W
0.101 = w * 10
13943
140.8t = w
Weight to shift vertically downwards is 140.8t

Answer 4
Given:1. Dimensions of the vessel = 100 * 12 * 8
2. Angle of loll = 18
3. Mean draft = 4m
KB of box shaped vessel = draft
2
KB of box shaped vessel = 4
2
KB of box shaped vessel = 2m
BM of box shaped vessel = b2
12 * d

Page 3 of 8

CHAPTER 21
ANGLE OF LOLL
BM of box shaped vessel = (12)2
12 * 4
BM of box shaped vessel = 3m
KM = KB + BM
KM = 2m + 3m
KM = 5m

Answer 5
Given:1. RD of log = 0.68
Let dimensions of log = x
So draft of log = x * 0.68
KB = draft
2
KB = 0.68x
2
KB = 0.34x
BM = b2
12 * d
BM = x2
12 * 0.68x
BM = 0.123x
KM = KB + BM
KM = 0.34x + 0.123x
KM = 0.463x
KG = height
2
KG = x
2
KG = 0.5x

KM = KG + GM

0.463x = 0.5x + GM
-0.037x = GM
0 > GM
Ship will be in angle of loll

Tan =

Tan = 0.776
= Tan-1(0.776)
= 37.8
Vessel will be at angle of loll at 37.8

Answer 6
Given:1. Homogenous log with cross section
Let side of log = x
Let RD of log = RD
KG = height
2
KG = x
2
KG = 0.5x
KB = RD * height
2
KB = RD * x
2
KB = 0.5x * RD
BM = b2
12 * d
BM = x2
12 * x * RD

BM = x
12 * RD
BM = 0.083x
KM = KB + BM
KM = (0.5x * RD) + (0.083x)
RD
KM = KG + GM
KM KG = GM
(0.5x * RD) + (0.083x) 0.5x = GM
RD
For ship to have positive stability GM 0
(0.5x * RD) + (0.083x) 0.5x 0

RD
(RD2 RD + 0.166) 0
RD1 = -b + b2 4ac
2a
RD1 = 1 + (1)2 4 * 1 * 0.166
2
RD1 = 0.789
RD2 = -b - b2 4ac
2a
RD2 = 1 - (1)2 4 * 1 * 0.166
2
RD2 = 0.210
RD1 > RD > RD2

Page 7 of 8

CHAPTER 21
ANGLE OF LOLL
0.789 > RD > 0.210
This means,
RD of the block should be more than 0.789
Or
RD of the block should be less than 0.210
