Boat static loading trim model calculator

Calculate added trimming moment and linear trim change with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use added trimming moment and linear trim change to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Added load masses (kg)
100,50
Longitudinal distances from flotation centre (m)
2,-1
Supplied moment to change trim one centimetre (kg·m/cm)
500
Added trimming moment (kg·m)
150
Linear trim change (cm)
0.3

Try another scenario

Added load masses (kg)
101.0,50.0
Longitudinal distances from flotation centre (m)
2,-1
Supplied moment to change trim one centimetre (kg·m/cm)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Added trimming moment (kg·m)

Moment=sum(mass×signed longitudinal lever); trimChange=moment/suppliedMCT.

Linear trim change (cm)

Moment=sum(mass×signed longitudinal lever); trimChange=moment/suppliedMCT.

Symbols and units

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Small added-load linear model using supplied hydrostatic coefficient, no stability or seaworthiness verdict. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints.
