Solution
The mass distribution curve will be as in Figure 7.6 and the
maximum bending moment will be at amidships.
The still water buoyancy
distribution will be constant at
Suppose now that the vessel is poised on a sinusoidal wave equal
5
to its own length and of height 0.607(L)°- , that is a wave 140m
long and 7.2 m high. The wave height at any point above the still
water level, when the wave crests are at the ends, is:
