Question 7: Curves of Stability (9 marks) The cross curves of stability (KN-curves) for a certain vessel are given in the following diagram. 5000 5500 6000 6500 7000 7500 8000 8500 9000 9500 10000 10500 11000 11500 12000 12500 13000 13500 14000 14500 15000 Displacement (tonnes) 7.5 75 3.5 2.5 KN (metres) (a) Calculate and plot the stability curve (GZ-curve) for the vessel at a displacement of A= 14500t, with a distance keel to centre of gravity KG = 7.5m. (b) Determine the angle of vanishing stability.
