This is the ship's squat formula on open waters and the unit of the answer will be
meter.
Squat = Block Coefficient x Speed
100
= 0.8 x 7
100
= 0.8 x 49
100
= 39.2
100
Squat = 0.392 m

Again, the example above is that we get the value of the ship's squat in open
waters. You might asked then, if there's a formula for squat on open waters,
what will be the formula for squat on enclosed water?

Find The
Amplitude

To get the value of squat on enclosed water is to multiply block coefficient by

the square of speed, and then times 2, then divide the product by 100.
