🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) and how adding/removing weights affects it • How to compute total moments (weight × LCG) before and after a change • Effect of removing multiple weights at different longitudinal positions on the final LCG

💭 Think About

• First, think about whether dumping mud from these pits is equivalent to adding weight or removing weight from the vessel, and how that generally shifts LCG (forward or aft). • Consider where pits 1, 2, 3, and 4 are located on the Sample Load Form relative to the original LCG: are they mostly forward, mostly aft, or spread around the LCG? • After you conceptually decide which way the LCG should move, set up the before-and-after weight and moment calculations to see which numerical option matches that shift.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the original total displacement and original LCG from Sample Load Form #3 before any mud is dumped. • For each pit, confirm its weight of mud and its longitudinal position (LCG or station), then compute the total moment of mud being removed. • After subtracting the removed weight and its moments, recompute: LCG = (new total moment) / (new total displacement) and check that your answer moves in the logically expected direction (forward or aft).
