Question 2662Deck Safety70% to pass
Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-11", AFT 16'-01"; and the KG is 23.2 feet. What is the righting moment when the vessel is inclined to 15°? (Use the reference material in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 9,272 foot-tons.
To calculate the righting moment when the vessel is inclined to 15 degrees, we need to use the formula and data provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). The righting moment is calculated as: Righting Moment = Displacement (tons) x GZ (feet), where GZ is the righting arm at the given angle of inclination.
Using the provided vessel drafts and KG, we can determine the necessary values from the Stability Data Reference Book to plug into the formula. The correct righting moment value of 9,272 foot-tons is calculated based on the vessel's characteristics and the 15-degree angle of inclination.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the righting moment calculation for the given vessel information and angle of inclination.
