LEARNING OUTCOME STATEMENT: At the end of this module, you will be
able to use the trapezoidal rule to find the area under a curve defined by given
ordinates.
TOPIC: DISPLACEMENT OF A BOX-SHAPED VESSEL
I. INTRODUCTION
Displacement or displacement tonnage is the weight of water that a ship pushes
aside when it is floating, which in turn is the weight of a ship (and its contents). It
is usually applied to naval vessels rather than commercial ones, and is measured
when the ship's fuel tanks are full and all stores are aboard.
II. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the discussion the cadet should be able to
1. Understand the change of draught/freeboard that will occur when a box-
shaped vessel moves between water of different densities
2. Compute on the floatation of box-shaped vessel
III. TEACHING LEARNING ACTIVITIES
At the end of the discussion the Faculty should be able to:
1. Interactive discussion on the displacement of a box-shaped vessel
2. Show how to compute simple box-shaped vessel problem

IV. CONTENT DISCUSSION
4.1 Simple box-shaped vessel calculations
To calculate the displacement of a box-shaped vessel, considerd the vessel
shown:
MASS = VOLUME x DENSITY
ie
Displ. = Vol. of Displ. x Water Density
where:
Vol. of Displ. = Length x Breadth x Draught
(V = L x B x d) x p
therefore:
[Link] = (L x B x d) x p
3
Consider what happen to the box-shaped vessel float in salt water and it is now
in towed into the water of lesser density, say 1.006 t/m³.
If the formula:
Displ. = Vol. of Displ. x Water Density
Is considered, the water density has decreased. Since the displacement has not
changed, then the volume of displacement must increase in order that the
displacement remains constant.
Therefore, the box shaped vessel will sink a little, ie the draughts increases.
4.2 Tutorial Questions
4.3.1 Problem question number
Calculate the displacement of a box-shaped vessel that has a length of 80m,
breadth of 16m and floats at a draught of 4.2m in salt water (density 1.025 t/m³)
Problem solution:
[Link] = (L x B x d) x p
[Link] = 80 x 16 x 4.2) x 1.025
[Link] = 5510.4 tonnes

Directions: Evaluate each statement as it pertains to the discussion in this module
course. For each criteria, threshold level 1 to 5 (1 is the lowest and 5 highest). Please
respond as truthfully as possible, so that you can make an accurate assessment of
your progress and set realistic goals for future improvement.
Rationale for using Technology: threshold level
Note: The following aspects will be taken into account, to the extent 1/5
that the study guide corresponds to the topic description:
The lesson topic or skill area is one that faculty often report
difficulties teaching
The technology-based lesson offers clear relative advantage Score:
over other way of teaching the topic or skill.
The relative advantage seems sufficient to justify the extra
expense and effort required to use the technology
Lesson Objectives and Assessment: threshold level
Note: The Following Aspects will be taken into account, to be extent 1/5
to which the outputs of the topic should contribute at the in this
course module topic:
Objectives are clear statements of products and
performances that cadets are required to do demonstrate
learning
Cadets objectives reflect measures that are usually required
for the topic/area or that makes sense as a alternatives to
Score:
those usually required
An assessment plan and instruments are given; assessment
instruments are well designated
There is clear match between cadet objectives and
assessment

Technology Integration Strategies: threshold level
Note: The following aspects will be taken into account: 1/5
An individual approach or a grouping strategy for using the
technology resources is specified and described Score:
The technology-based activities are essential to helping
cadets accomplish the lesson objectives
