🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the combined center of gravity formula: ( KG_{total} = \frac{\sum (w_i \times KG_i)}{\sum w_i} ) • Remember that for each item, the center of gravity is at half the stowage height above the deck (assuming it is stowed upright / singly on deck) • Be careful with unit conversions: inches to feet and rope weight per foot plus tare weight of reels

💭 Think About

• For each cargo group (I–IV), where is the center of gravity measured from the main deck, and what is its height in feet? • How do you calculate the total weight of each group, especially the reels of wire rope that have weight per linear foot plus tare weight? • Once you have each group’s weight and KG, how do those plug into the weighted-average formula for the overall KG of the cargo?

✅ Before You Answer

• Convert all dimensions from inches to feet before doing KG calculations (e.g., 32 inches, 36 inches). • Confirm you have included every weight: cement drums, both wire reels (rope + tare), all pallets, and all crates. • After computing ( KG_{total} ), compare it to the choices and check that it is a reasonable value (it should be between the lowest and highest individual KGs you found).
