Q10. A vessel of 12000 tonne displacement has a length along the load water line of 140m. The waterline lengths at 1m intervals of draught below this are 139, 138, 136.5, 134.5, 132 and 129m respectively. If the center of lateral resistance is at the centroid of this immersed area, calculate the angle to which he ships will heel due to centrifugal force when the vessel turns in a circle of 400m diameter when travelling at 16 knots with KG 5m and GM 0.4m
