Question 2758 Deck Safety
70% to passYour sailing drafts are: FWD 21'-08", AFT 22'-04" and the GM is 3.2 feet. What will be the angle of list if the #6 port deep tank (capacity 201 tons, VCG 11.4 feet, and 25.5 feet off the centerline) is filled? (Use the data in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)
A
2°
B
4°
C
6°
D
8°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 8°. The angle of list can be calculated using the formula provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). Given the vessel's drafts, GM, and the specifics of the #6 port deep tank, the formula indicates that filling this tank will result in an 8° angle of list. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the provided data. A 2° or 4° angle of list would be too small, while a 6° angle of list would be an underestimation of the actual list.
