List of top Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Questions on Ship Hydrostatics asked in GATE NM

A ship consumes 250 tonne of fuel when moving from sea to a river. On arrival, draught and trim (measured at rest) are the same as the corresponding values at sea.
The displacement of the ship in seawater is ______ tonne (answer in integer).
The density of seawater and river water are 1025 kg/m\(^3\) and 1000 kg/m\(^3\) respectively.

A ship floating in seawater has a TPC (Tonne Per Centimeter immersion) of 20.

If bilge keel of total mass 65.1 tonne and volume 44 \(\text{m}^3\) is added to the ship, then the change in the mean draft is ______ cm.

Assume that after bilge keel fitment, the TPC remains constant, and the ship undergoes parallel sinkage. Density of seawater is 1025 \(\text{kg/m}^3\).
