Question 2103Deck Safety70% to pass
The static stability curve for a given vessel peaks at 34°. For this ship, the danger angle for a permanent list would be about _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 17°.
The danger angle for a permanent list is typically considered to be half the angle of the peak of the static stability curve. Since the static stability curve peaks at 34°, the danger angle for a permanent list would be approximately 17°.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 8.5° is too low and does not correspond to half the peak angle.
C) 34° is the peak angle of the static stability curve, not the danger angle.
D) 51° is too high and does not correspond to half the peak angle.
