This is the ratio of the volume of displacement of the ship to the volume of the circumscribing solid having a constant section equal to the immersed midship section area AM, and a length equal to the LPP ie CP = (AM x L) The Cp is a measure of the longitudinal distribution of displacement of the ship, and its value ranges from about 0.55 for fine ships to 0.85 for full ships.
Olu lulungiselelo lomthwalo woshenxiso lwenqanawe kumthamo wokuqina oncitshisiweyo nonecandelo elingagungqiyo elilingana kwindawo yecala elitshonileyo lombindi wenqanawe engu-AM, kunye nobude obulingana ku-LPP Umz. CP = (AM x L) u-CP um=ngumlinganiselo wolwabiwo olude loshenxiso lwenqanawe, kwaye ixabiso lakhe lihamba ukusuka malunga no-0.55 kwiinqanawe ezifayini ukuya ku-0.85 kwiinqanawe ezizeleyo.
