| How do you determine the weight of the vessel that is supported by the ground when a vessel has run aground? |
| A) Use the hydrostatic tables and enter with the mean draft before grounding and the mean draft after grounding. |
| B) Determine the point where aground and the draft at that point, then calculate it using the grounding formula. |
| C) Use the inclining experiment formula and substitute the change of trim for the angle of list. |
| D) This requires extensive calculation and is usually performed only by a naval architect not by a ship's officer. |
