Question 2356Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER has drafts of: FWD 28'-00", AFT 29'-00". Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts if you ballast the forepeak with 81.05 tons of seawater.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) FWD 28'-07.3", AFT 28'-07.8".
To determine the drafts after ballasting the forepeak, we need to use the principles of stability and the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book. The change in draft due to adding 81.05 tons of seawater to the forepeak can be calculated using the displacement and the waterline length of the vessel.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft based on the given information and the principles of stability.
