Question 2759Deck Safety70% to pass
Your sailing drafts are: FWD 14'-04", AFT 16'-02" and the GM is 3.0 feet. What will be the angle of list if #5 port double bottom (capacity 195 tons, VCG 2.6 feet, and 18.5 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) 8°.
To determine the angle of list, we need to calculate the change in the center of gravity (CG) due to the addition of the water in the #5 port double bottom tank. The given information, such as the tank capacity, VCG, and distance from the centerline, can be used to calculate the shift in the overall CG, which then allows us to determine the angle of list using the stability data.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in CG and the resulting angle of list based on the provided information.
