Exercise -20

Answer 1

Given:-
1 W = 30000 t
2 KG = 10.983 m
3 FSM = 9000 tm
4 Assuming KG = 10 m

FSC = FSM
W

FSC = 9000
30000

FSC = 0.3 m

KG(f) = KG(s) + FSC

KG(f) = 10.983 + 0.3

KG(f) = 11.283 m

KM = KG(f) + GM

13.836 = 11.283 + GM

2.553 = GM

Heel gz - gG * SinѲ = GZ(m)

0 0 - 0 = 0.000
10 1.8 - 0.2228 = 1.577
20 3.1 - 0.4388 = 2.661
30 3.95 - 0.6415 = 3.309
45 4.15 - 0.9072 = 3.243
60 3.6 - 1.1111 = 2.489
75 2.25 - 1.2393 = 1.011

Initial GM = 9m

Answer 2

Given:-
1 W = 40500 t
2 KG = 8.925 m
3 FSM = 4738 tm
4 Assuming KG = 10 m

FSC = FSM
W

FSC = 4738
40500

FSC = 0.117 m

KG(f) = KG(s) + FSC

KG(f) = 8.925 + 0.117

KG(f) = 9.042 m

KM = KG(f) + GM

16.124 = 9.042 + GM

7.082 = GM

Heel gz + gG * SinѲ = GZ(m)

0 0.000 + 0 = 0.000
10 1.200 + 0.1664 = 1.366
20 2.350 + 0.3277 = 2.678
30 3.350 + 0.4790 = 3.829
45 4.000 + 0.6774 = 4.677
60 3.600 + 0.8297 = 4.430
75 2.150 + 0.9254 = 3.075

Answer 3

Given:-
1 W = 20200 t
2 KG = 9.78 m
3 FSM = 4444 tm
4 Assuming KG = 10 m

FSC = FSM
W

FSC = 4444
20200

FSC = 0.22 m

KG(f) = KG(s) + FSC

KG(f) = 9.78 + 0.22

KG(f) = 10 m

KM = KG(f) + GM

26.464 = 10 + GM

16.464 = GM

Heel gz - gG * SinѲ = GZ(m)

0 0.000 - 0 = 0.000
10 2.900 - 0.0000 = 2.900
20 4.200 - 0.0000 = 4.200
30 4.650 - 0.0000 = 4.650
45 4.200 - 0.0000 = 4.200
60 3.350 - 0.0000 = 3.350
75 2.150 - 0.0000 = 2.150

Maximum GZ of 4.67m takes place at 30°

Answer 4

Given:-
1 W = 55000 t
2 KG = 10.691 m
3 FSM = 5129 tm
4 Assuming KG = 10 m

FSC = FSM
W

FSC = 5129

KG(f) = 10.691 + 0.0933

KG(f) = 10.784 m

KM = KG(f) + GM

14.030 = 10.784 + GM

3.246 = GM

Heel gz - gG * SinѲ = GZ(m)

0 0.00 - 0 = 0.000
