Q9. (a) What are the water pressure loads on the ship's hull. (6)

(b) The water plane area of a ship at 8.4 m draught is 1670 m². The area of successive water planes at 1.40 m intervals below this are 1600, 1540, 1420, 1270, 1080 and 690 m² respectively. Calculate the displacement in fresh water at 8.4 m draught and the draught at which the ship would lie in sea water with the same displacement. (10)
