Problem 2.
Consider a ship with L=60m,B=10m,T=2m,=600 tons, sitting in saltwater (=1,025kgm3). The
lightship CG is 1.2 m above keel. The ship has a single, rectangular tank with length, l=40m, and width
equal to half of the ships beam. The bottom of the tank is at keel. The height of the tank is 3 m . The tank
is half-filled with crude oil ({:t=870kgm3) and is on centerline resulting in 0 mean heel. What is the
vertical center of gravity (KG) of the loaded ship?
