🔍 Key Concepts

• Vertical moments in stability calculations (weight × vertical center in feet) • How added weight in a specific compartment changes the sum of vertical moments • Using the existing data on Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling) for Stores & Supplies and the paint locker location

💭 Think About

• Look up the existing total vertical moment for Stores & Supplies on Sample Load Form #4. How is that number usually obtained from individual items? • Find the vertical center (height in feet) of the paint locker on the form. If you add 3.48 tons there, what additional moment does that create? • After you find the additional moment from the new paint, what mathematical operation should you perform with the original sum of vertical moments to get the new total?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using the correct vertical center (VCG) in feet for the paint locker, not a longitudinal or transverse value • Confirm that you multiply 3.48 tons × VCG (ft) to get added vertical moment in foot-tons • Check that your final number matches one of the choices after adding the new moment to the original Stores & Supplies sum (do not recalculate from scratch unless needed)
