Ans. The Centre of Pressure is 4.87 m below the waterline.
Summary
When using Simpson's Rules to estimate the area of a bulkhead under liquid pressure together with the VCG and centre of pressure the procedure should be as follows:
1 Make a sketch from the given information.
2 Make a table and insert the relevant ordinates and multipliers.
3 Calculate the area of bulkhead's plating.
4 Estimate the ship's VCG below the stipulated datum level.
5 Using the parallel axis theorem, calculate the requested centre of
pressure.
6 Remember: sketch, table, calculation.
