Let us suppose the heel tobe just sufficient to bring the water in the ballast tank to the top onthe lee side, as shown in figure… … Fig. 103. STABILITY. 269. Righting- arm = 2 5 x sine 6^ degrees = 283 feet. But this does not include the correction for the changed position.of the ships centre of gravity due to the ballast water. In figure.103, it will be noticed that the water now forms a triangular wedge,.whose e.g. is at B,…
