This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables
Functions Used
tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
Variables Used
Metacentric Height - (Measured in Meter) - Metacentric Height is defined as the vertical distance between the center of gravity of a body and metacenter of that body.
Movable Weight on Ship - (Measured in Kilogram) - Movable weight on ship is the weight that can be moved from one place to another place on a ship.
Transverse Displacement - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Displacement of the weight "W" can be calculated by multiplying shear strain with height.
Ship Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Ship weight is the weight of the ship alone without any load on the ship.
Angle of Tilt - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of tilt is the angle tilted by the ship during sailing.
