Question

B) Once in the water the draft distance, d, varies depending on the weight of cargo in the ship (as shown below): dmax The length and width of the cargo ship

are 12 m and 3.5 m respectively and the water density is 1010 kg/m³. Treating the cargo ship as a cuboid, determine: i) The draft distance, d, when the cargo ship is empty. ii) The greatest weight of additional cargo that can be added, without exceeding the maximum draft distance, dmax, of 2.1 m. What is the draft distance, d, when the cargo ship is empty, accurate to two decimal places? (Note that the weight of the empty cargo ship is given in Part 1A) m What is the maximum weight of the fully loaded cargo ship, accurate to the nearest whole number? KN What is the maximum weight of additional cargo that can be added, accurate to the nearest whole number?
