Value of MBO
Assume that the body is rectangular at the top view
and measures B by L at the waterline when in upright
position.
Value of MBO
The moment due to the shifting of the buoyant force is
equal to the moment due to shifting of wedge.
(exact)
(approximate)
PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
1. A rectangular scow 9 m wide, 15 m long and 3.6 m
high weighs 3304 kN.
a. What is its draft in sea water weighing 10.20
kN/m3?
PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
Where:
W = weight of the body
BF = buoyant force
M = metacenter
G = center of gravity of the body
BO = center of buoyancy in upright position
BO' = center of buoyancy in tilted position
MG = metacentric height or the distance from M to G
MBO = distance from M to BO
GBO = distance from G to BO
v = volume of the wedge either immersion or emersion
s = horizontal distance between the center of gravity of the wedges
= angle of tilting
I = moment of inertia of the waterline section of the body
RM = righting moment
OM = overturning moment
