I. Use of Simpson's Rules in the computation of areas, Volumes and centroids.

2. Determination of Position of the longitudinal centre of gravity of a ship for different conditions of load and ballast. The effect on the position of centre of gravity of a ship by adding, removing and / or shifting weights.

3. Longitudinal centre of buoyancy, Longitudinal metaecentre and centre of flotation and factors affecting their positions.

4. Theory of Trim, Changes of trim and draft due to loading, discharging and shifting weights.

5. Change of trim due to change of density.

6. Use of stability, hydrostatic and stress data supplied to ships.

7. Cross curves of stability, K.N. Values, determination of Righting moment using K.N. Values. Curve of statical stability and its practical usage.

8. Carriage of deck cargoes and their effect on stability.

9. Stowage of grain and stability aspects in respect thereof with particular reference to calculations involved and the manner of presentation of the Information relating to grain heeling Moments and the resulting angle of heel as presented in the National Statutory Regulations.

10. Calculations based on the foregoing including those based on "Trim and Stability Particulars" of a given ship.
