Your vessel displaces 10,000 tons and has a KG of 22.6 feet. What will be the length of the remaining righting arm at an angle of inclination of 45° if the center of gravity shifts 2.0 feet transversely? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Question

Your vessel displaces 10,000 tons and has a KG of 22.6 feet. What will be the length of the remaining righting arm at an angle of inclination of 45&deg; if the center of gravity shifts 2.0 feet transversely? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Accepted Answer

Option B: 2.7 feet. Using the Stability Data Reference Book for 10,000 tons displacement and 22.6-foot KG, find the GZ at 45 degrees. Subtract the transverse shift effect, calculated as GG' * cos(45). With a 2.0-foot shift, the remaining righting arm is 2.7 feet.
