Question 2749 Deck Safety
70% to passA cargo of 50 tons is to be loaded on deck 20 feet from the ship's centerline. The vessel's displacement including the 50 ton cargo will be 3,000 tons and the GM three feet. What would be the list of the vessel after loading the cargo?
A
5.35°
B
5.80°
C
6.10°
D
6.35°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 6.35°. The list of a vessel can be calculated using the formula: list = tan^-1 (W*d / (Δ*GM)), where W is the weight of the load, d is the distance from the centerline, Δ is the vessel's displacement, and GM is the metacentric height. In this case, with a 50-ton cargo loaded 20 feet from the centerline, a displacement of 3,000 tons, and a GM of 3 feet, the calculation yields a list of 6.35°, which corresponds to answer choice D. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given information.
