Question 2762 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 5.72°. To calculate the list of the vessel after loading the 60-ton cargo, we can use the formula for calculating the angle of list: tan(list angle) = (cargo weight x cargo arm) / (displacement x GM). Given: - Cargo weight: 60 tons - Cargo arm: 20 feet - Displacement: 6,000 tons - GM: 2 feet Plugging these values into the formula, we get: tan(list angle) = (60 tons x 20 feet) / (6,000 tons x 2 feet) tan(list angle) = 1,200 / 12,000 tan(list angle) = 0.1 List angle = arctan(0.1) = 5.72° The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 5.72°.
