Question 3469 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Maximum mooring line tension divided by the anchor's weight in air. The holding power ratio of an anchor is a measure of how well the anchor can hold a vessel in place. It is calculated by dividing the maximum mooring line tension (the maximum force the anchor can withstand) by the anchor's weight in air. This ratio indicates the anchor's holding power compared to its weight, with a higher ratio indicating a more effective anchor. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the formula for calculating the holding power ratio.
