A cargo of 100 tons is to be loaded on deck 20 feet from the ship's centerline. The ship's displacement including the 100 tons of cargo will be 10,000 tons and the GM two feet. What would be the list of the vessel after loading the cargo?

Correct Answer: Option B — 5.7°

Initial transverse list is calculated using the formula: $\tan(\text{List}) = \frac{\text{terweight} \times \text{distance}}{\text{Displacement} \times \text{GM}}$. Substituting the values: $\frac{100 \times 20}{10000 \times 2} = 0.1$. The arctangent of 0.1 yields approximately 5.7 degrees, matching standard transverse stability principles found in operational stability manuals.
