4 10% A ship of length 180 m and beam 20 m floats at a mean draught of 8.5 m when in water of density 1.025 tonnes/m3. Assuming her block coefficient is 0.5 and her waterplane coefficient of fineness is 0.6, calculate the ship’s displacement and her approximate draught when it enters water of density
1.010 tonnes/m3. Continued…/

A uniform weight of 65 tonnes on the deck is 4 m high and it is to be lifted by a crane with its suspension point 12 m above the deck. If the original KB = 4.25 m, KG = 6.75 m and KM = 7.65 m, find the reduction in GM when the crane lifts the weight from the deck.
