Question 2635Deck Safety70% to pass
Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 17'-07", AFT 16'-09"; and the KG is 24.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 15° inclination.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 0.7 foot.
To determine the righting arm at 15° inclination, you need to use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given vessel drafts (FWD 17'-07", AFT 16'-09") and KG (24.8 feet), the stability curve would indicate a righting arm of 0.7 foot at 15° inclination.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value shown on the stability curve for the given vessel characteristics. Option B (1.2 feet), C (1.9 feet), and D (4.8 feet) are not the correct righting arm at 15° inclination for this vessel.
