Introduction to Ship Stability
This course shows you how to use mathematical calculations like Simpson’s Rules and the Haslar formula to work out the volume of water affecting ship stability.
Simpson’s Rules are unique in that they help calculate irregular areas and volume in ship stability. This course explains the principal dimensions of vessels and the concept of relative density. Investigate the calculation of block, midship, prismatic and waterplane coefficients. We will outline the application and calculation of Thomas Simpson’s 1st, 2nd and 3rd rules. Start this course today to understand these special rules.

Hydrostatic Principles and Coefficient of Forms
In this module, you will be introduced to the principle dimensions of a vessel, density, and relative density, calculation of wetted surface area, as well as principles of hydrostatics. You will also be introduced to the calculation of waterplane, block, prismatic and midship coefficients, as well as the load on an immersed plane.
Simpson’s First, Second and Third Rules
In this module, you will be introduced to hull geometric calculations, the moment of area, the moment of inertia, as well as how to calculate waterplane area. You will also be introduced to the longitudinal and vertical centers of buoyancy, as well as the applications and ordinates of Simpson’s first, second, and third rules.
