Question 2643Deck Safety70% to pass
Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 27'-06", AFT 28'-02"; and the KG is 23.1 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 60° inclination if the center of gravity is 2.4 feet off the centerline.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 0.5 foot.
The explanation is as follows:
1. Confirm which answer is correct: The correct answer is A) 0.5 foot.
2. Explain the reasoning or regulation that makes it correct: Using the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, with the given vessel's drafts and KG, the remaining righting arm at 60° inclination when the center of gravity is 2.4 feet off the centerline is 0.5 foot.
3. Explain why the other options are incorrect: Options B, C, and D do not correctly reflect the value determined from the stability curves for the given vessel conditions.
