    There is no such calculator. This is design work which should be done by specialist.

    I think the OP needs to explain the context of his asking of these questions. Certainly he appears to have little grounding in the subject, so it would help to know where he is coming from, figuratively speaking. I hope its not as a prospective boat builder.
