The problem provided involves calculating the ship's KB (Keel to Buoyancy) and displacement at a draft of 7.0 meters, given the provided data on the TPC (Tonnes per centimeter of immersion) and volume.

Step 1: Understanding TPC (Tonnes per cm immersion)

• TPC values are provided for drafts from 1 to 7 meters.
• TPC varies slightly with increasing draft, which means the shape of the underwater hull changes slightly as the ship is immersed further.

Step 2: Displacement at 7.0 m draft

• To calculate the ship's displacement at 7.0 m draft, we can integrate or accumulate the TPC values over the draft range from 1 m to 7 m.

Formula for Displacement:

$\text{Displacement} = \int TPC \, \text{d}(\text{draft})$ This means we are adding up the TPC values across the range. Since the TPC values are provided for each meter interval, we can approximate the displacement by averaging the TPC values between intervals and multiplying by 100 cm for each meter increment.

For example: $\text{Displacement between 1 m and 2 m} = \frac{(60 + 60.3)}{2} \times 100$ Continuing this process up to 7 m, then summing all the displacements, we get the total displacement.

Step 3: KB Calculation

The problem provides:

• The volume between the keel and the 1.0 m draft is 3022 m³.
• The centroid of this volume is 0.5 m above the keel.

For the volume from 1 m to 7 m draft, we can approximate the KB by calculating the vertical center of buoyancy for each volume section and finding the centroid.

Let's proceed with the calculations.
