Your vessel displaces 9,000 tons and has a KG of 21.2 feet. What will be the length of the remaining righting arm at an angle of inclination of 30° if the center of gravity shifts 2.6 feet transversely? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Question

Your vessel displaces 9,000 tons and has a KG of 21.2 feet. What will be the length of the remaining righting arm at an angle of inclination of 30&deg; if the center of gravity shifts 2.6 feet transversely? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Accepted Answer

Option A: 1.4 feet. Using the Stability Data Reference Book for 9,000 tons and 21.2-foot KG, find the GZ at 30 degrees. Apply the correction formula: GZ_remaining = GZ_curve - (GG' * cos(30)). With a 2.6-foot transverse shift, the remaining righting arm is 1.4 feet.
