Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2580 (Set 78)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 23'-01", AFT 24'-05"; and the KG is 22.8 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 1.9 feet off the centerline.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 0.7 foot

Determine the basic righting arm from the blue pages stability curves at 30° inclination. Subtract the transverse shift reduction calculated by multiplying the off-center distance of 1.9 feet by the sine of 30°, yielding the remaining effective righting arm of 0.7 foot.
