Loss of bouyancy
When compartment is holed the ship will sink deeper in water until intact
colume displaces waater equivalent to the mass od the ship and its contents.
Calculation:
1. SF = 45 lb/ft3
Density: 3
2. SF = 47 lb/ft3
Density: 1.5
2. SF = 46.5 lb/ft3 Density: 2.7
Loss of bouyancy
If the lost buoyancy is greater than the reserve buoyancy, that means that the
ship is already sinking.
The are of the intact waterplane is reduced by the area of the flooded spaces at the
TPC = 50
TPC = 70
GM increases because:
Bilging of empty double bottom tanks
Deep tanks that are wholly below the waterline
