Q8. A. Explain the purpose of non-watertight longitudinal subdivision of tanks.

B. A ship 160m long and 8700-tonne displacement floats at a waterline with ½ ordinates of 0, 2.4, 5.0, 7.3, 7.9, 8.0, 8.0, 7.7, 5.5, 2.8, 0m respectively. While floating at this waterline, the ship develops a list of 10° due to instability. Calculate the negative metacentric height when the vessel is upright in this condition.
