Answer 6

Let cargo to load = x

Remarks Weight (t) KG (m) Moments (tm)

Ship 3200 6.2 19840

Loads 5200 4.8 24960
Cargo to Load x 10.4 10.4x

Total 8400 + x 6.000 44800+10.4x

Final KG = Total Moments

Total Weight

6.000 = 44800+10.4x
8400 + x

6 * (8400 + x) = 44800+10.4x

50400 + 6x = 44800+10.4x

5600 = 4.400 x

Final cargo to load = 5600.000

4.400

Final cargo to load = 1272.73 t

Final cargo to load is 1272.73 t

Answer 7

Let cargo to load = x

Remarks Weight (t) KG (m) Moments (tm)

Ship 2600 4.88 12688

Loads 4600 5 23000
Cargo to Load x 10

Total 7200 + x 5.110 35688 + 10x

Final KG = Total Moments

Total Weight

5.11 = 35688 + 10x

7200 + x

5.11 * (7200 + x) = 35688 + 10x

36792 + 5.11x 35688 + 10x

1104 = 4.890 x

Final cargo to load = 1104.000

4.890

Final cargo to load = 225.77 t

Final cargo to load is 225.77 t
