Your sailing drafts are: FWD 14'-04", AFT 16'-02" and the GM is 3.0 feet. What will be the angle of list if #5 port double bottom (capacity 195 tons, VCG 2.6 feet, and 18.5 feet off the centerline) is filled with saltwater? (Use the data in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Question

Accepted Answer

Option B: 8&deg;. The transverse list from asymmetrical ballasting is determined by dividing the added weight moment ($195 	ext{ tons} 	imes 18.5 	ext{ ft}$) by ship displacement and a GM of 3.0 feet, accurately resolving to an 8-degree list per stability book tables.
