🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the BL-0003 loading condition to identify which tanks/weights are contributing to longitudinal bending (sagging vs hogging). • From the salmon-colored Stability Data pages, find the sagging numeral that corresponds to this specific loading case by combining the numerals for each tank/space. • Remember that sagging numeral is a sum of individual numerals, not the stress in psi; then compare that summed numeral to the allowable values in the reference tables.

💭 Think About

• How do you decide, from the salmon pages, whether the numeral for a particular tank/space is added to the sagging side or the hogging side? What does a weight near midships versus near the ends tend to do? • Once you have all the individual numerals for this BL-0003 condition, what is the total sagging numeral when you add only the sagging contributions? • After you obtain your total sagging numeral, which answer choice is closest to that value without exceeding what you calculate from the tables?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are using the correct ship (NORTHLAND) and correct condition number (BL-0003) in the salmon-colored pages. • Check that you are using numerals, not tons or psi values from BL-0003; BL-0003 only tells you which tanks are loaded, not the numeral itself. • Confirm that every tank/space listed as loaded on BL-0003 has been accounted for once and only once in your sagging/hogging numeral summation.
