Maritime Math Second Week
First DayThis Summer
Institute began last week at Bridgewater State
College with five days of intensive work led by
Tim Mitchell, Paul Anthony, Ron Norsworthy and
Frank Guiliano and hosted by the Southeast PALMS
Coalition.
On the second week the
Institute came to New Bedford for an intensive,
hands-on five days. Images from the first day are
shown to the right.
Today's Topic: Hull Design
and Working the North Atlantic
z Ship Stability
Hull Speed = 1.34 times the
square root of the hull length at waterline
Roll Period is inversely
related to the stability
z Displacement
The mass of water displaced
by a hull equals the mass of the hull
For two forces in equilibrium
on a lever, the force times distance from the
fulcrum of one equals the force time distance of
the other
z Center of Mass and Specific Gravity
Density of a substance
divided by the density of water equals the
specific gravity of the substance
z Working with Lines Drawings
