Question 2751Deck Safety70% to pass
Your sailing drafts are: FWD 22'-04", AFT 23'-06" and the GM is 3.2 feet. What will be the angle of list if #3 starboard double bottom (capacity 97 tons, VCG 2.5 feet and 23 feet off the centerline) is filled with saltwater? (Use the data in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 3°.
To determine the angle of list, we need to calculate the righting moment created by the added weight of the saltwater in the #3 starboard double bottom tank. Given the tank's capacity, VCG, and distance from the centerline, we can use the Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the righting moment and find the resulting angle of list.
Based on the provided information, filling the #3 starboard double bottom tank (97 tons, VCG 2.5 feet, 23 feet off centerline) with saltwater will create a righting moment that results in an angle of list of approximately 3 degrees.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the given information and the calculations using the Stability Data Reference Book.
