Question 4500 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 increased to approximately 50°. This is because the adaptor blocks/chocks are designed to limit the trip angle to a lower value, typically around 30°. By removing these, the anchor is allowed to pivot more freely, resulting in a higher trip angle of around 50°. The other answer choices are incorrect because 20° is too low for an LWT anchor without the adaptor blocks, and 30° and 40° are intermediate values that do not accurately reflect the increased trip angle when the adaptor blocks are removed.
