You have approximately 6 tons of fish on deck. What will be the shift in the center of gravity after you shift the fish to the fish hold, a vertical distance of 7 feet? (total displacement is 422 tons)

Correct Answer: Option D — 0.1 foot

Vertical center of gravity shift is calculated using the formula GG' = (w * d) / W. Shifting 6 tons down 7 feet on a 422-ton vessel yields a downward shift of 0.1 foot.
