Q10. A. Why is it important in a tender ship to keep the double bottom tanks pressed up? (6)

b) A double bottom tank is 23m long. The half breadths of the top of the tank are 5.5, 4.6, 4.3, 3.7 and 3.0m respectively. When the ship displaces 5350 tonnes, the loss in metacentric height due to free surface is 0.2m. Calculate the density of the liquid in the tank. (10)
