Question 3394 Deck General
70% to passWith adaptor blocks/chocks removed from an LWT stock anchor, the trip angle will be _______________.
A
20°
B
30°
C
40°
D
50°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 50°. With the adaptor blocks/chocks removed from an LWT (lightweight) stock anchor, the trip angle will be 50°. This is because the LWT anchor is designed to have a trip angle of 50° when used without the adaptor blocks/chocks. The trip angle is the angle at which the anchor will break out of the seabed and return to the surface. Without the adaptor blocks, the anchor's design characteristics will result in a 50° trip angle. The other options (20°, 30°, and 40°) are incorrect because they do not match the standard trip angle for an LWT anchor without the adaptor blocks/chocks.
