Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 27'-06", AFT 28'-02"; and the KG is 23.1 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 60° inclination if the center of gravity is 2.4 feet off the centerline.

Question

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 27'-06", AFT 28'-02"; and the KG is 23.1 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 60&deg; inclination if the center of gravity is 2.4 feet off the centerline.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 0.5 foot. Determine the vessel's mean draft and displacement to enter the stability curves. Find the GZ at 60 degrees for the given KG. Apply the correction formula: GZ_remaining = GZ_curve - (GG' * cos(theta)). With a 2.4-foot shift, the calculation results in 0.5 feet.
