1.7 Fwa & Dwa
1.7 Fwa & Dwa
Outcome 1 - Hydrostatics
By the end of the lesson the Student will be able to:
FWA
S = L x B x d x Cb x ρ
S = 9118.7 t
Example 2 (cont’d)
To Calculate the TPC
To Calculate the FWA
TPCSW = Aw x ρsw
100 FWA = ∆s =
= L x B x Cw x ρsw 4 x TPC
100
The FWA is 84 mm
Dock Water Allowance (DWA)
Ships regularly visit ports which have a density
that is neither FW or SW but in between. (aka
Dock Water or Brackish Water)
