    any one can tell the formula for calculating the moment of area above BL , which is also included in bonjean curve table beside the area of each section ?


    basically want to know the formula being used to calculate the MOM BL coloumn,

    Any standard text on naval architecture should show you the procedure. Some of these texts can even be found online.

    I'm not sure what "MOM BL" means but in general, hydrostatic values are not calculated by a formula. Overall it is a calculation procedure in which they are involved several formulas. With certain values obtained by this method, we then calculate some coefficients for which, indeed, one can talk of a formula.

    I think "MOM BL" indicates that the moment of area is referred to the baseline.

    Well, there are a couple of ways it can be done. If you have a table of offsets for each station, you can set up a Simpson's integration to obtain the area and first moment of area about the BL. If you have only a table of Bonjean areas, you can still set up a Simpson's integration using that data. In both cases, it's best if the offsets or the areas are tabulated at regular intervals; this makes the Simpson's integration much easier.

    That's also why I recommended that you find a suitable textbook for naval architecture. These calculation procedures are often well-illustrated in such texts to show you how to set up your own calculation.

    Like TANSL said, it's not a formula, it's a procedure which uses a tabular form.

    Things become much easier once you know what you want to calculate ...

    Formula = Summation from 0 to x of (B|x+B|x+dx)/2*dx*(x+dx/2)

    @Jehardiman:

    for the third value , T =1
    so you mean,
    B = 1 m , x = 2.9 , dx = 0.5 ?

    If you want it in terms of that table you posted

    T is the vertical distance from the baseline
    B would be the beam of the body at T.

    B is not necessarily continuous over T

    Area X at T would be
    Summation from 0 to T of (B|T + B|T+dT)/2 * dT

    MOM BL at T would be
    Summation from 0 to T of (B|T + B|T+dT)/2 * dT * (T + dT/2)
