Its been a while since I’ve done these hand calcs, software’s fault, but I’m looking to solve for BM, as you, use 2/3 T to back out KB and ultimately get KM. then use the wt’s moment and heel angle to get GM and subtract GM from KM to get KG.V = 180*24*9*1/2 = 19440 cf. D = 540 LT (19440/36)...

AK, I'm the same as Gerard, graduated ahead of PE availability but will finally pursue this year. I plan to pop in-out as time permits but thought about this earlier this morn and ultimately, its the buoyancy of the strip that is greater than the weight of it that allows for the rise. Use the...

The strip will provide the buoyancy that it displaces. I can't see the givens, but look for whether in salt or fresh water and whether the strip's weight is ST or LT.
