Submerged Cylinder Plot Mini-project


Net Loads of a Simple, Partially-submerged, Cylinder with Cargo applied at the top, right edge of the deck).




1) Fill in the Cargo mass to be applied at the Top, Outboard deck-edge

2) Fill in the dimensions for the partially-submerged cylinder.

3) Fill in the submerged condition (rotation and unrotated draft)

4) Select the Material the hull will be made of

5) Select the water the buoy will float in

6) Then press the button to find the net forces of the partially-submerged buoy for the given weight and floation condition.
