 6. Solution: Capacity = Wt. of FW x Expansion = 120 tons x 2 % or ( .02 ) Capacity = 2.4 (-) 120.0 Capacity = 117.6 tons Wt. of Oil = Capacity x R.D. of Oil 117.6 tons x 0.84 Wt. of oil = 98.78 tons

7. A tank when full will hold 130 tons of salt water. Find how many tons of oil relative density 0.909 it will hold allowing 1% of the volume of the tank for expansion. Ans. 114.13 tons

7. Solution: Capacity = Capacity of FW x Expansion = 130 x 1% or .01 Capacity = 1.3 (-) 130.0 tons Capacity = 128.7 tons R.D. Oil = 0.909 ( x ) Wt. of Oil = 116.98 tons Actual Wt. = Weight of Oil / Density of SW = 116.98 tons / 1.025 Actual Wt. of Oil = 114.13 tons

8. A tank measuring 8m x 6m x 7m is being filled with oil of relative density 0.9. Find how many tons of oil in the tank when the ullage is 3 meters. Ans. 172.8 tons

 8. Solution: Wt. of Oil = L x W x (H Ullage) x R.D of Oil = 8m x 6m x ( 7m 3m ) x 0.9 = 8m x 6m x 4m x 0.9 Wt. of Oil = 172.8 tons

9. Oil of relative density 0.75 is run into a tank measuring 6m x 4m x 8m until the ullage is 2 meters. Calculate the number of tons of oil the tank then contains. Ans. 108 tons

 9. Solution: Weight of Oil = L x W x ( H Ullage ) x R.D. Oil = 6m x 4m x (8m 2m) x 0.75 = 6m x 4m x 6m x 0.75 Weight of Oil = 108 tons

10. A tank will hold 100 tons when full of fresh water. Find how many tons of oil of relative density 0.85 may be loaded if 2% of the volume of the oil loaded is to be allowed for expansion.

Ans. 83.3 tons

10. Solution: Capacity = Wt. of FW x Expansion = 100 t x 2% or .02 = 2 (-)100 Capacity = 98 tons Weight of Oil = Capacity x R.D. of Oil = 98 tons x 0.85 Weight of Oil = 83.3 tons

11. A box-shaped vessel 120m x 6m x 2.5 m floats at a draft of 1.5 m in water of density 1,013 kgs/m. Find the displacement in tons, and the height of the centre of buoyancy above the keel.

 11. Solution: = L x B x Draft x Cb x R. Density = 20m x 6m x 1.5m x 1 x 1.013 tons/m = 1,094.04 tons KB = x Draft = x 1.5 m KB = 0.75 m

 12. A box-shaped barge 55m x 10m x 6m is floating in fresh water on an even keel at 1.5 m draft. If 1,800 tons of cargo is now loaded, find the difference in the height of the centre buoyancy above the keel? Ans. 1.636 m

12. Solution: = L x W x Draft x Cb x R. Density = 55m x 10m x 1.5m x 1 x 1.000ton/m = 825 tons KB = x Draft KB = x 1.5m KB = 0.75m
