Answer:
0.5 feet
Explanation:
it is given that the martin floats at draft of 23'6"
GM=1.5
The load is given as follows
1400 tons is loaded as 2 feet above keel
1400 tons-----kg----2 feet
final kg = [tex]\frac{final moment }{final dispacement}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{weight}{1400 kg}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{kg}{2 feet}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{moment of keel }{2800}[/tex]
final kg = [tex]\frac{2800}{1400}[/tex]=2 feet
final GM =2 feet-1.5 feet
=0.5 feet
