  2. Compensated gross tonnage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensated_gross_tonnage

    For example, passenger ferry of a given size would require substantially more work to build than a bulk carrier of the same size due to the differing design requirements, internal structure, and required level of detail, but simply comparing the gross tonnage or deadweight of each ship would incorrectly show that they took the same amount of ...

  3. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    Schematic of quantities for capstan equation An example of holding capstans and a powered capstan used to raise sails on a tall ship. The capstan equation [ 1 ] or belt friction equation , also known as Euler–Eytelwein formula [ 2 ] (after Leonhard Euler and Johann Albert Eytelwein ), [ 3 ] relates the hold-force to the load-force if a ...

  4. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

    Lightweight displacement – LWD – The weight or mass of the ship excluding cargo, fuel, ballast, stores, passengers, and crew, but with water in the boilers to steaming level. Loadline displacement – The weight or mass of the ship loaded to the load line or plimsoll mark. Deadweight tonnage (DWT) is a measure of how much weight a ship can ...

  5. Hull speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

    Hull speed can be calculated by the following formula: where is the length of the waterline in feet, and is the hull speed of the vessel in knots. If the length of waterline is given in metres and desired hull speed in knots, the coefficient is 2.43 kn·m −½.

  6. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(ship)

    The ship's hydrostatic tables show the corresponding volume displaced. [4] To calculate the weight of the displaced water, it is necessary to know its density. Seawater (1,025 kg/m 3) is more dense than fresh water (1,000 kg/m 3); [5] so a ship will ride higher in salt water than in fresh. The density of water also varies with temperature.

  7. Central limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

    An important example of a log-concave density is a function constant inside a given convex body and vanishing outside; it corresponds to the uniform distribution on the convex body, which explains the term "central limit theorem for convex bodies".

    Bridget Cacciatore had PCOS and Hashimoto’s disease. She gained weight with cardio and Nutrisystem. She lost 45 lbs with clean keto diet and strength training.

  9. Ship resistance and propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_resistance_and_propulsion

    For thousands of years ship designers and builders of sailing vessels used rules of thumb based on the midship-section area to size the sails for a given vessel. The hull form and sail plan for the clipper ships, for example, evolved from experience, not from theory. It was not until the advent of steam power and the construction of large iron ...
