Q

Define LCB

A

Longitudinal COB, measured fwd from aft perpendicular.

17
Q

List vs Heel

A

Internal vs External

18
Q

What is an angle of loll and how is it corrected?

A

When a vessel is in unstable equilibrium, negative GM, any external force will create heel which cannot be corrected as there is no righting lever due to the negative stability.

Filling of bottom tanks is required to increase the height of M.

19
Q

What is the minimum GM allowed?

A

0.15m, 0.30m for grain, 0.10m for timber.

20
Q

Formula for DWA

A

FWA x (1025-d)
DWA = ———————
