• B. 5.50 meters
• C. 5.25 meters
• D. 6.00 meters
• 90. Solution:
• GG’ = W x D
• ∆
• GG’ = 250 tons x 6.6 m
• 2,350 tons

• B. 5.32 meters
• C. 5.82 meters
• D. 5.72 meters
• WT DIST MOMENT
• LOADED = 390 x 7.0 = 2,730
• LOADED = 710 x 2.5 = 1,775

BILGED AT FWD END

W
• 92. Solution:
• W = X x B x d x R. Density
• W = Trimming Moment
• X = Length of the Bilged Compartment
• W = 10m x 20m x 6.0m x 1.025 ton/m³
• W = 1,230 tons
