You are going to load bales of wool having a stowage factor of 100 in #3 lower hold which has a bale cubic of 72,000. How many tons of the wool can be stowed in the compartment, assuming 10% broken stowage?

A 493

B 577

C 602

D 648

AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 648 tons. To calculate the number of tons of wool that can be stowed in the compartment, we need to use the formula: Tons = (Bale Cubic / Stowage Factor) * (1 - Broken Stowage Factor) Given: - Bale Cubic = 72,000 - Stowage Factor = 100 - Broken Stowage Factor = 10% or 0.10 Plugging these values into the formula: Tons = (72,000 / 100) * (1 - 0.10) = 720 * 0.90 = 648 tons The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula and account for the 10% broken stowage factor.
