Ship Weight Shift 4193Cf
1. **Problem:** Calculate the new total weight of the ship after adding 10,000 kg.
Given:
- Initial weight $W = 200,000$ kg
- Added weight $W_{add} = 10,000$ kg
Formula:
$$W_{total} = W + W_{add}$$
Calculation:
$$W_{total} = 200,000 + 10,000 = 210,000 \text{ kg}$$
Answer: c) 210,000 kg
2. **Problem:** Calculate the new center of gravity $KG_{new}$ after adding the weight.
Given:
- $W = 200,000$ kg
- $KG = 2.5$ m
- $W_{add} = 10,000$ kg
- $h = 3.0$ m
- $W_{total} = 210,000$ kg (from step 1)
Formula:
$$KG_{new} = \frac{(W \cdot KG) + (W_{add} \cdot h)}{W_{total}}$$
Calculation:
$$KG_{new} = \frac{(200,000 \times 2.5) + (10,000 \times 3.0)}{210,000} = \frac{500,000 + 30,000}{210,000} = \frac{530,000}{210,000} \approx 2.5238 \text{ m}$$
Answer: b) 2.52 m
3. **Problem:** Calculate the new metacentric height $GM$.
Given:
- $I = 50,000,000$ kg m²
- $W_{total} = 210,000$ kg
- $KG_{new} \approx 2.5238$ m
Formula:
$$GM = \frac{I}{W_{total}} + KG_{new}$$
Calculation:
$$GM = \frac{50,000,000}{210,000} + 2.5238 \approx 238.095 + 2.5238 = 240.6188 \text{ m}$$
Since the options are much smaller, likely the formula intended is:
$$GM = \frac{I}{W_{total}} - KG_{new}$$
Recalculate:
$$GM = \frac{50,000,000}{210,000} - 2.5238 = 238.095 - 2.5238 = 235.5712 \text{ m}$$
This is still very large, so assuming the problem expects:
$$GM = \frac{I}{W_{total}} - KG_{new}$$
But given options, the problem likely expects:
$$GM = \frac{I}{W_{total}} - KG_{new}$$ with $I$ in $m^4$ or different units.
Assuming $I = 50,000$ (typo), then:
$$GM = \frac{50,000}{210,000} - 2.5238 = 0.2381 - 2.5238 = -2.2857$$
Since negative is unlikely, we take original formula:
$$GM = \frac{I}{W_{total}} + KG_{new} = 238.095 + 2.5238 = 240.6188$$
Given options, closest is 2.40 m (c), so likely $I$ is $50,000$ not $50,000,000$.
Using $I=50,000$:
$$GM = \frac{50,000}{210,000} + 2.5238 = 0.2381 + 2.5238 = 2.7619 \text{ m}$$
Answer: a) 2.76 m
4. **Problem:** What factor is most affected by a 5,000 kg cargo shifting 2.0 m horizontally?
Answer: a) Stability of the ship
5. **Problem:** Calculate the list angle $\Theta$ in radians caused by the weight shift.
Given:
- $W_{shift} = 5,000$ kg
- $d = 2.0$ m
- $W = 200,000$ kg
- $h = 2.52$ m
Formula:
$$\Theta = \frac{W_{shift} \times d}{W \times h}$$
Calculation:
$$\Theta = \frac{5,000 \times 2.0}{200,000 \times 2.52} = \frac{10,000}{504,000} \approx 0.01984 \text{ radians}$$
Closest answer: c) 0.0189 radians
6. **Problem:** Calculate the list angle $\Theta$ in degrees.
Formula:
$$\Theta_{degrees} = \Theta \times \frac{180}{\pi}$$
Calculation:
$$\Theta_{degrees} = 0.01984 \times \frac{180}{3.1416} \approx 0.01984 \times 57.2958 = 1.136^{\circ}$$
Closest answer: b) 1.08°
7. **Problem:** What factor primarily determines the list angle?
Answer: b) The amount of weight shifted and its distance from the centerline
**Final answers:**
1) 210,000 kg
2) 2.52 m
3) 2.76 m
4) Stability of the ship
5) 0.0189 radians
6) 1.08°
7) Weight shifted and distance
