🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal and vertical centers of gravity (KG) on a loading problem • Effect on KG when removing weight from a known vertical position • Using total displacement (W) and removed weight (w) in the KG change formula

💭 Think About

• From Sample Load Form #4 and Table 7, identify the total displacement (W) and the vertical center (KG) of the P-Tanks cement before discharge. How does removing this weight affect the ship’s overall KG? • Think about whether KG moves toward or away from the vertical position of the weight that is removed. Is the P-Tanks cement above or below the ship’s original KG? • Use the standard KG correction relationship for adding/removing weight to estimate the magnitude of the KG change, then compare your result with the answer choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using the correct weight and KG for the cement in the P-Tanks only, not the entire P-Tank contents if partially loaded with something else. • Confirm that you use the proper sign in the KG change formula: removing weight above the original KG will move KG down, removing weight below will move KG up. • Double-check your arithmetic on the fractional feet (e.g., converting inches to decimals) so your final KG change matches one of the four given values.
