70% to passYour vessel's drafts are: FWD 17'-09", AFT 18'-03"; and the KG is 22.4 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 1.5 feet off the centerline.
A
14°
B
18°
C
22°
D
26°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 22°. To determine the angle of list when the center of gravity is shifted 1.5 feet off the centerline, you need to use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given drafts (FWD 17'-09", AFT 18'-03") and the KG of 22.4 feet, the stability curves indicate that the angle of list would be approximately 22 degrees when the center of gravity is shifted 1.5 feet off the centerline. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the provided stability data and the given shift in the center of gravity.
