Problem #2(6 marks)MercuryA modern supertanker has a tank capacity of a half-million metric tonsof crude oil (SG=0.86). The ship is essentially rectangular with a length of 400m and width of 65 m. The mass of the ship is 230,000 metric tons. When the ship is unloaded, it is necessary to take on seawater (SG=1.025) to maintain sufficient drafability. A minimum draft of 20m is required. Determine the following:a)The maximum draft of the fully loaded tanker.b) The miimum fraction of the tank t
Problem #2(6 marks)
A modern supertanker has a tank capacity of a half-million metric tons
of crude oil (SG=0.80). The ship is essentially rectangular with a length of 400 m and width of 65 m . The mass of the ship
is 230,000 metric tons. When the ship is unloaded, it is necessary to take on seawater (SG=1.025) to maintain sufficient
draft for stability. A minimum draft of 20 m is required. Determine the following:
a) The maximum drat of the fully loaded tanker.
b) The minimum fraction of the tank to be filled with seawater when traveling unloaded.
