Question 2640 Deck Safety
70% to passYour vessel's drafts are: FWD 24'-04", AFT 25'-10"; and the KG is 23.5 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 37° inclination.
A
1.9 feet
B
2.1 feet
C
3.5 feet
D
4.2 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2.1 feet. To determine the righting arm at 37° inclination, you need to use the stability curves provided in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given vessel's drafts (FWD 24'-04", AFT 25'-10") and KG (23.5 feet), the stability curve that corresponds to these characteristics would indicate a righting arm of approximately 2.1 feet at 37° inclination. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the righting arm value obtained from the stability curves for the given vessel characteristics and inclination angle.
