The supertanker globtik london has a mass of 220000 metric


The supertanker Globtik London has a mass of 220,000 metric tons when empty and it can carry up to 440,000 metric tons of oil when fully loaded. Assume that the shape of its hull is approximately that of a rectangular parallelepiped 380 m long, 60 m wide, and 40 m high.

(a) What is the draft of the empty tanker, that is, how deep is the hull submerged in the water? Assume that the density of (sea) water is 1.02 X 103 kg/m3. (book says 9.5m)

(b) What is the draft of the fully loaded tanker? (book says 28.4m)
