Question 2752Deck Safety70% to pass
Your sailing drafts are: FWD 24'-02", AFT 24'-10" and the GM is 4.6 feet. What will be the angle of list if #6 starboard double bottom (capacity 95 tons, VCG 2.6 feet, and 21 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) 2°.
The angle of list can be calculated using the formula provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). With the given information on the sailing drafts, GM, and the characteristics of the #6 starboard double bottom tank, we can plug the values into the formula and determine the angle of list.
The formula takes into account the free surface effect and off-center weight of the flooded tank, which causes the vessel to list. Based on the calculations using the provided data, the resulting angle of list is 2 degrees.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list calculated using the formula and the given information.
