Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-11", AFT 16'-01"; and the KG is 23.2 feet. What is the righting moment when the vessel is inclined to 15°? (Use the reference material in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Question

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-11", AFT 16'-01"; and the KG is 23.2 feet. What is the righting moment when the vessel is inclined to 15&deg;? (Use the reference material in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Accepted Answer

Option C: 9,272 foot-tons. Mean draft is 15'-06". Identify the displacement from the reference tables. Using the stability curves for a KG of 23.2 feet, determine the GZ at 15 degrees. The product of displacement and GZ results in 9,272 foot-tons, which is the correct righting moment for this configuration.
