A commercial ship entering port has a 1.25 m draught. It has a draught of 1 m after discharging its cargo. Calculate the ratio of the periodic periods before and after the ship leaves the cargo if the ship's width is 7 m and the ship's centre of gravity stays at the water line.

1. Consider a conic reservoir of unit depth that is initially filled with water at the height of h = 200 mm. A rigid cuboid block, with dimensions of 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm, is then dropped into the water. When the equilibrium state is reached, the block floats on the water's surface, as shown in the figure. If the specific gravity of the block is 0.5, determine the change in the free surface position of the water, i.e., Ah, in mm. %3D Hint: You can calculate the volume of liquid inside the conic reservoir with a unit depth in terms of the liquid height as V = th³/3.

A ship of displacement 36000 tonne carries oil fuel in four tanks 16.0 m long and 6.0 m broad, the tanks arranged with their length in the fore and aft direction. The specific gravity of the oil is 0.84, and the density of seawater inwhich the ship is floating is 1020 kgm-3. For a ship of this size, the metacentric height is at least 500 mm. What is the reduction of the metacentric height of the ship because of the oil that is contained in the tanks and how serious is this reduction? Please discuss further your conclusions.
