Q26. The righting moment for a ship in a particular condition of loading is known to be 44000 tonne meters at a displacement of 27500 tonne when heeled to an angle of 30° from upright.

Using the cross curves of stability provided on Worksheet Q2:

(a) Determine the KG of the ship for the condition of loading;

(b) Draw, on graph paper, a curve of statical stability for the load condition;

(c) From the statical stability curve drawn in Q2 (b), determine EACH of the following:

(i) The range of stability;

(ii) The righting moment at 20° heel.
