Exam Question
(a) Describe the process of correcting a negative GM. (6)
(b) A ship 120m long displaces 10500 tonne and has a wetted surface area of 3000m². At 15 knots the shaft power is 4100kW, propulsive coefficient 0.6 and 55% of the thrust is available to overcome frictional resistance. Calculate the shaft power required for a similar ship 140m long at the corresponding speed.
f = 0.42 and n = 1.825. (10)
