A ship of 10 000t displacement has an initial metacentric height of 1.5m. What is the moment of statical stability when the ship is heeled 10 degrees?

Reference: Ship Stability for Masters & Mates (6th edition), Exercise – 6.5

 

Solution:

Moment of statical stability = W*GM*Sinθ

                                             = 1000 * 1.5 * sin100

                                             = 2604.72 tons meters
