Question 1900 Deck Safety

You are correct, the correct answer is D) inches per feet of breadth. Camber is the upward curvature or arch of a ship's deck from the center to the sides. It is typically measured in inches per feet of breadth (or beam) of the vessel. This is because camber is a measure of the cross-sectional shape of the deck, which is related to the ship's width or beam, not its length. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect how camber is measured. Camber is not measured in feet per feet of length or breadth, nor in inches per feet of length.
