Q4. (a) List the components of residuary resistance.

(b) A ship model 6m long has a total resistance of 40N when towed at 3.6 knots in fresh water. the ship itself is
180m long and displaces 20400 tonne. the wetted surface area may be calculated from the formula S= 2.57,
Calculate ePn for the ship at its corresponding speed in sea water. f (model)fw =0.492; f (ship)sw =0.421;
n=1.825.

Q9. (a) Describe the effects on centre of gravity of slack tanks.

(b) A box-shaped vessel 100 meter long x 20 meters wide X 12 meters deep is floating in salt water on an even
keel at 6 meters draft. A forward compartment is 10 meters long, 12 meters wide and extends from the outer
bottom to a watertight flat, 4 meters long 12 meters wide and extends from the outer bottom to a watertight flat,
4 meters above the keel. the compartment contains cargo of permeability 25%. find the new draft if this
compartment is bilged.
