Individual Stiffness of Mooring Line Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Individual Mooring Line Stiffness = Axial Tension or Load on a Mooring Line/Elongation in the Mooring Line
k_n' = T_n'/Δl_η'
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Individual Mooring Line Stiffness - Individual Mooring Line Stiffness refers to the resistance of the line to stretching or deforming under applied loads.
Axial Tension or Load on a Mooring Line - (Measured in Newton) - Axial Tension or Load on a Mooring Line is the maximum load that a mooring line should be subjected to in operational service, calculated from the standard environmental criteria.
Elongation in the Mooring Line - (Measured in Meter) - Elongation in the Mooring Line refers to the extent to which a mooring line, which secures a vessel or floating structure to a fixed point, stretches under tension.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Axial Tension or Load on a Mooring Line: 160 Kilonewton --> 160000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Elongation in the Mooring Line: 4.99 Meter --> 4.99 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k_n' = T_n'/Δl_η' --> 160000/4.99

Evaluating ... ...

k_n' = 32064.128256513

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

32064.128256513 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

32064.128256513 ≈ 32064.13 <-- Individual Mooring Line Stiffness

What are Ocean Moorings?

A Mooring in oceanography is a collection of devices connected to a wire and anchored on the sea floor. It is the Eulerian way of measuring ocean currents, since a mooring is stationary at a fixed location. In contrast to that, the Lagrangian way measures the motion of an oceanographic drifter, the Lagrangian drifter
