Question

A ship of 7500 tonnes displacement has KM = 8.6 m, KG = 7.8 m, and a 20 m beam. A quantity of deck cargo is lost from the starboard side (KG = 12 m, and the center of gravity is 6 m in from the rail). If the resulting list is 3° 20´ to port, find how much deck cargo was lost.

Step 1

We need to find the mass of the deck cargo lost from the starboard side of a ship, which caused the ship to list 3° 20' to port. We are given the ship's displacement (7500 tonnes), the metacentric height (KM = 8.6 m), the center of gravity above the keel (KG = 7.8 Show more…
