Question 2757Deck Safety70% to pass
A cargo of 100 tons is to be loaded on deck 20 feet from the ship's centerline. The ship's displacement including the 100 tons of cargo will be 10,000 tons and the GM two feet. What would be the list of the vessel after loading the cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 5.7°.
The reasoning is as follows:
1) The cargo of 100 tons is loaded 20 feet from the ship's centerline, which creates a heeling moment.
2) With a displacement of 10,000 tons and a GM of 2 feet, the formula to calculate the list angle is: List Angle = (Heeling Moment / Displacement / GM) x (180 / π).
3) Plugging in the values, the list angle calculates to 5.7°, which makes B) the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 5.7°.
