- Q122 - Deck Safety: Stability Problems
155. On a vessel of 8,000 tons displacement, compute the reduction in metacentric height due to free surface in a hold having free water in the tank tops. The hold is 40 feet long and 20 feet wide. What is the reduction in metacentric height?
The reduction in metacentric height due to free surface is calculated as the second moment of area of the water surface divided by the vessel's displacement volume, resulting in approximately 0.1 ft.
