A vessel with a tonnage of 4000 t and an empty KG = 3.0 m, KM = 5.3 m is loaded with 6000 t of cargo (KG = 5 m). To calculate how many tons of cargo the ship could still accept if loaded on deck, where KG = 10 m and the minimum positive value for GM would be 0.3 m.
The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.72 m/s2. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Starting from these assumptions, estimate the specific weight of water on Mars in lbf/ft3. Note that when converting lbm (pounds mass) to lbf (pounds force), a unit conversion called gc is required (1 lbf = 32.2 lbm ft s-2). The conversion factor ensures that (under normal gravity), a 100 lbm load generates 100 lbf of gravitational force
