    2. 2.You desire to make good a true course of 129°. The variation is 7°E, deviation is 4°E, and gyrocompass error is 2°W. An easterly wind produces a 4° leeway. What is the course to steer per standard compass to make good the true course?

      Delete
    3. T/C 129 minus 2 W Gyro error = 127
      T/C 127 minus 4 easterly wind leeway = 123
      T/C = 123
      Var = 7 E (-)
      Mag.= 116
      Dev.= 4 E (-)
      PSC = 112 (Final Answer)

    7. Dear Sir,
      I am now having my review and I found it difficult to solve this particular problem:
      A vessel displacement is 60110 tons has a TPC 63 TONS and MTC 888.7 kilotons. Draft fwd reads 10.0m and draft aft 10.2m. The trim table for 100 KT shows Fore 3.43 and aft -0.32. Calculate the new draft Fwd and aft if you are to load 300 tons into cargo hold no. 3?
      A million thanks to whatever assistance you can extend.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. TPC = (Lenght x Breadth x Block coefficient x Density of SW) ÷ 100
      = (80 x 14 x 1 x 1.025) ÷ 100

  12. Good day sir,

    Can you please help me solve this problem that I've encountered on my review?

    Question:

    What distance will a weight of 100 tons have to
    be moved in order to remove a 3 degrees list from
    a vessel? Displacement is 9500 tons and GM is 3.0 feet.


    Thanks in advance! Salute to all of the guys behind this website!

    Replies
    1. Its 14.9 ft.

      Formula :
      Tan list = (weight x distance) / (displacement x GM)

      Derive to find distance;
      Distance = (displacement x GM x tan list) / weight
      D= (9500 tons x 3 ft x tan 3) / 100 tons
      Cancel tons so ft will remain.
      D= 1493.62 / 100
      Distance is 14.94

    1. As to the meaning of Panofsky & Brier, you better read a standard reference online.

      With regard to the Panofsky & Brier formula, we have it here on this site. You can use the search box and then type panofsky and brier. Or you can scan through the blog archive.
