Transverse Stability

Course description

Students learn why a ship floats and study basic ship stability theory and definitions. Students also practice various calculations regarding the effects of distribution of weights, water density, centres of gravity, hydrostatics, and coefficients of form; students apply Simpson’s rules for determining areas, volumes, and moments of inertia.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
