(35 points) A General Cargo vessel, preparing for entering a floating dry dock, ballasts the forward Double Bottom and Deep tanks until she has her trim by the stern reduced to 3.24m with a mean draft of 4.42m. Her dimensions and other characteristics are as given below. The floating drydock can be given a 1.5m trim by the stern to ease the docking loads imposed on the vessel. The vessel's initial landing point is located 97.5m aft of midship. Determine:
a) the trimming moment developed during the drydocking,
b) the maximum potential force on the vessel's bottom structure just before full landing on the keel docking blocks?
c) the vertical lift given the vessel, as it becomes fully landed and the vessel's drafts
d) forvard and aft when it has become fully landed on the docking blocks? Maintain mm accuracy in your calculations.
Given: ,LBP=208.5m.LCF=-8.36m;LCB=-3.68m;TPCM=65.3;MTCM=443.5
