1. The free surface effect of the not fullfilled tanks of the ship can be determined the formula given in Eq. 1.

FSE=j=1nIjj (1)

where n number of tanks, is the displacement mass of the ship, I_j is the inertia moment of the fluid in the j^th tank and _j is the density of the fluid in the j^th tank.

I_j is the inertia moment of the fluid in a rectangular tank can be determined by Eq (2).

Ij=ljbj312 (2)

Assume that all tanks of the =10000 ton ship are half filled. The tank arrangement plan is given in the figure 1.

1. Read the width, length and fluid density of each tank from a excel file called tank.xls
2. Write a function that determines free surface effect of the tanks.

1. The inputs of the function will be the displacement mass of the ship, tank widths, tank lengths and densities of fluids in tanks. Densities, tank widths and lengths should be array. Output of the function will only be total free surface effect.
2. The inertia moment of the fluid in tank should be calculated in the function.
3. Determination of the total free surface effect of the tanks of the ship by Eq. 1.

Can you explain this matlab question clearly. There is same question but their answer is not clear!!!!

1. The free surface effect of the not fullfilled tanks of the ship can be determined the formula given in Eq. 1. n FSE = I; xP; (1) A j=1 where n number of tanks, A is the displacement mass of the ship, I; is the inertia moment of the fluid in the jih tank and Dj is the density of the fluid in the j tank. Ij is the inertia moment of the fluid in a rectangular tank can be determined by Eq (2). 1, l; = (2) Assume that all tanks of the A=10000 ton ship are half filled.
