Question 2766 Deck Safety
70% to passYour vessel's drafts are: FWD 21'-09", AFT 23'-03"; and the KG is 20.0 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the angle of list if the center of gravity is shifted 1.9 feet off the centerline.
A
9°
B
12°
C
15°
D
19°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 19°. The reason this is the correct answer is that when the center of gravity is shifted 1.9 feet off the centerline, it will cause the vessel to list at an angle of 19° according to the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. This is because the shift in the center of gravity creates a righting arm that will cause the vessel to list to the opposite side. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the given vessel drafts and center of gravity shift.
