2-1 A small boat weighing 40 LT has a submerged volume of 875 ft3 when traveling at 20 kts in
seawater. (ρ = 1.99 lb·s2ft4 ; 1 LT = 2240 lb)
(a) Calculate the magnitude of the hydrostatic support being experienced by boat.
FBuoyancy = ρgVsub = 1.99 lb·s2ft4 · 32.2 ft
s2 · 875 ft3 = 56,068 lb · 1 LT2,240 lb = 25 LT
(b) What other type of support is the boat experiencing?
In addition to hydrostatic support, this boat is experiencing hydrodynamic support/lift.
(c) Calculate the magnitude of this other type of support.
FHydrodynamic = Wboat − FBuoyancy = 40 LT − 25 LT = 15 LT
(d) What will happen to the submerged volume of the boat if it slows to 5 knots? Explain your
answer.
Hydrodynamic lift is proportional to V 2boat. As the boat slows, the reduction in hydrodynamic
support will cause the boat weight to exceed the total lift so the boat will sink down (draft, T ,
will increase). As T increases, Vsub increases so Fbuoyancy increases until a new equilibrium is
reached at a new, deeper, draft.

best representation of the ship’s lines. Use the FFG-7 Table of Offsets given on the following page for
your drawings.

waterline, midships, center of buoyancy (B), and center of flotation (F).
2. On your drawing show the following distances: KB, LCF referenced from the forward perpendicular,
and LCB referenced from amidships.
3. Based on the given dimensions of the barge, determine the following dimensions:

2-17 An FFG-7 is floating with a forward draft of 14.9 feet and an aft draft of 15.5 feet. Determine the
following: First, find mean draft, Tm. Tm =Tf+Ta

from the curves of form.

2-18 The FFG in problem 15 changes its draft from 14 feet to 15.5 feet. What is the new value of TPI? Why
does this value of TPI change?
TPI(14 ft WL) = 31.4 LTin
TPI(15.5 ft WL) = 164 · 0.2 LTin
1 = 32.8 LTin
As the hull is riding lower in the water, the Awp increases due to the flare in the hull form. As TPI is
directly related to Awp, TPI increases as well.

2-20 A DDG-51 is floating on an even keel at a draft of 21.5 ft. A piece of machinery weighing 50 LT is
moved from the center of flotation to a point 150 ft forward of F . What is the change in ship’s trim due to
this weight shift?
