How do you determine the weight of the vessel that is supported by the ground when a vessel has run aground?
Determine the point where aground and the draft at that point, then calculate it using the grounding formula.
Use the inclining experiment formula and substitute the change of trim for the angle of list.
This requires extensive calculation and is usually performed only by a naval architect not by a ship's officer.
Use the hydrostatic tables and enter with the mean draft before grounding and the mean draft after grounding.
