Question 2756 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Your sailing drafts are: FWD 19'-06", AFT 20'-10" and the GM is 3.3 feet. What will be the angle of list if the #2 starboard deep tank (capacity 100 tons, VCG 19.1 feet, and 24 feet off the centerline) is filled? (Use the data in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

A Less than 1°

B 2°

C 4°

D 6°

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 4°. To determine the angle of list, we can use the formula provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). The formula is: Angle of List = (Transverse Moment / (Displacement x GM)) x 57.3°. Given the information provided - sailing drafts, GM, and details of the #2 starboard deep tank - we can calculate the transverse moment and displacement to plug into the formula. The resulting angle of list is 4°, which matches answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated angle of list based on the provided data.
