70% to pass

The tankship Northland is loaded as shown in table BL-0002 below. Use the salmon colored pages in the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the sagging numeral _______________.

A 29.49 numeral
B 31.97 numeral
C 33.61 numeral
D 35.12 numeral
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 31.97 numeral. To determine the sagging numeral, you need to use the information provided in the table BL-0002 and the salmon colored pages in the Stability Data Reference Book. The sagging numeral is a measure of the ship's longitudinal strength and is used to assess the vessel's ability to withstand sagging forces. By consulting the appropriate tables and charts in the reference book, you can find the sagging numeral that corresponds to the Northland's loading condition. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the sagging numeral value found in the Stability Data Reference Book for the given loading condition of the Northland.
