Graph of Righting Arm Curve
Filename of the calculations that are contained here.
Vertical Center of Gravity, feet, above Baseline. The
is the same VCG (or KG) value that was used for constructing
the "Cross Curves of Stability." This value
facilitates fast cross checking with the other vessel
data.
Vessel Draft, feet. When INPUT =1 put in the mean draft
for the condition under evaluation. When INPUT=2 it
usually means the level draft is being evaluated.
Otherwise it is the LCF draft.
Downflooding Angle, based on the above draft and the
vessel's geometry. Part 46 CFR 173.095 (e) requires
the location where the hull does not close automatically.
Condition Inputs from Hydrostatics Program or Curves
of Form & Cross Curves of Stability
Input Righting Arms are below. No free surface effects are included
in this data
.
Vessel Displacement, long tons.
Keel to Metacenter for the Transverse Direction, feet,
this value obtained at the same time as the above displacement
for the level trim case. Where KMT = VCB + BMT.
Towline Pull, Dynamic Criterion, VCG Check, as per 46 CFR 173.095(c) - (f)
This analysis is based on the dynamic requirements contained
in 46 CFR 173.095 (c) through (f). These requirements
are an option to the static requirements stated by
46 CFR 173.095 (b). This analysis was prepared in
a Windows 95 operating system (or later version) with
MathCAD version 6 (or later version).
Vertical Center of Gravity, feet, above the Baseline
is positive. This value should already include the
free surface correction.
General Inputs for Vessel
TYPE =1 when a specific VCG is being checked. TYPE=2
when seeking the maximum allowable value for this criterion.
In a TYPE 2 analysis this VCG value is ITERATED to
obtain
the highest possible value that meets all this
criterion's requirements.

Calculations for Righting Arm Curve
In this formula a correction for VCG0 is made to the Righting Arm Curve.

Arms for VCG
The formula for representing GZ (righting arm) as a
function of theda (heel angle) is derived as follows:
Longitudinal Center of Gravity, feet, aft of Midships
is positive. For the level trim case this equals the
LCB value and it is obtained at the same time as the
displacement above.
If Input = 1 data for this condition is directly from
a hydrostatics program, if Input =2 data are from the
"Curves of Form" and the "Cross Curves
of Stability."
