Ship Stability and Displacement Quiz

A ship is floating at a draft of 6.07m. What is its displacement (MLD)?

• 27963.27 MT

• 28075.39 MT

• 27976.48 MT

• 28012.73 MT

If a ship's draft changes from 6.00m to 6.10m, what is the change in TPC?

• 0.07 MT

• 0.06 MT

• 0.05 MT

• 0.08 MT

Calculate the change in displacement if a ship's draft increases from 6.03m to 6.08m.

• 247.24 MT

• 337.34 MT

• 198.68 MT

• 287.78 MT

At a draft of 6.05m, what is the difference between the ship's full displacement and molded displacement?

• 111.53 MT

• 112.14 MT

• 110.92 MT

• 113.75 MT

Analyze the trend in LCB values as the draft increases from 6.00m to 6.10m. What can you conclude?

• LCB moves further aft

• LCB moves further forward

• LCB remains constant

• LCB fluctuates randomly

If the ship is floating at a draft of 6.06m, calculate the MTC using linear interpolation.

• 553.62 MTM

• 553.41 MTM

• 553.83 MTM

• 553.20 MTM

Compare the rate of change in TKM and LKM as the draft increases. What can you deduce about the ship's stability?

• Transverse stability improves while longitudinal stability decreases

• Both transverse and longitudinal stability improve

• Transverse stability decreases while longitudinal stability improves

• Both transverse and longitudinal stability decrease

If 100 MT of cargo is loaded onto the ship at a draft of 6.04m, what will be the new draft?

• 6.06m

• 6.07m

• 6.05m

• 6.08m

Analyze the relationship between displacement and VCB. What trend do you observe?

• VCB increases linearly with displacement

• VCB decreases as displacement increases

• VCB remains constant regardless of displacement

• VCB fluctuates without a clear pattern

If the ship moves from saltwater (density 1.025 t/m³) to freshwater (density 1.000 t/m³) at a draft of 6.10m, calculate the new displacement.

• 27535.96 MT

• 27426.69 MT

• 27645.23 MT

• 27755.90 MT
