Q5. A. Explain why the GM must remain positive until the critical instant at which the ship takes the blocks overall.

B. A ship of displacement 10,010 tones has a container of 10t at KG = 7.5m. The container is shifted transversely. A pendulum of length 7.5m defects through 13.5m. GM of ship = 0.76m, KM = 6.7m. Find the distance through which the container shifted. Also find the new KG if the container is removed.
