Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2576 (Set 78)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-00", AFT 14'-08"; and the KG is 25.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 30° inclination if the center of gravity is 1.5 feet off the centerline.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 0.6 foot

Enter the stability curves at 30° inclination using the calculated displacement and KG. Subtract the transverse moment correction ($1.5 \times \sin 30°$) from the uncorrected righting arm to arrive at the remaining righting arm of 0.6 foot.
