Question 2764 Deck Safety
70% to passA vessel's drafts are: FWD 16'-03", AFT 16'-09"; and the KG is 21.3 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the angle of list if the center of gravity is shifted 2 feet off the centerline.
A
12°
B
14°
C
20°
D
22°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 20°. To determine the angle of list, you need to use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. With the given drafts (FWD 16'-03", AFT 16'-09") and the KG of 21.3 feet, you can find the appropriate stability curve and determine the angle of list when the center of gravity is shifted 2 feet off the centerline. The stability curve that corresponds to these conditions indicates an angle of list of 20°. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the angle of list shown on the stability curve for the given vessel characteristics and center of gravity shift.
