Question 4799 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 5.18 degrees to the stern. To calculate the resulting trim angle, we need to consider the change in the vessel's center of gravity due to the discharge of the non-liquid load. The trim angle is affected by the weight and position of the discharged load relative to the vessel's overall center of gravity. Based on the given information, the calculation results in a trim angle of 5.18 degrees to the stern. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in trim angle caused by the specific discharge details provided in the problem statement. A well-understood understanding of stability and trim calculations is crucial for Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, as it ensures the safe operation of vessels.
