Question 2760Deck Safety70% to pass
A cargo of 30 tons is to be loaded on deck 30 feet from the ship's centerline. The ship's displacement including the 30 tons cargo will be 9,000 tons and the GM will be 5 feet. What would be the list of the vessel after loading this cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 1.14°.
The list of a vessel can be calculated using the formula: List (in degrees) = (Cargo weight x Cargo distance from centerline) / (Displacement x GM) x 57.3.
In this case, the cargo weight is 30 tons, the cargo distance from centerline is 30 feet, the displacement is 9,000 tons, and the GM is 5 feet. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
(30 x 30) / (9,000 x 5) x 57.3 = 1.14°
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the result of the calculation. Option B (2.05°), C (2.31°), and D (3.40°) are not the correct list angle for the given information.
