70% to passWith adaptor blocks/chocks in place on an LWT stock anchor, the trip angle will be _______________.
A
20°
B
30°
C
40°
D
50°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 30°. With adaptor blocks/chocks in place on an LWT (lightweight) stock anchor, the trip angle is typically set to 30°. This angle is specified in the applicable regulations and standards for the design and installation of these types of anchors. The 30° trip angle allows the anchor to release from the seabed effectively when the anchor chain is pulled, ensuring the anchor can be recovered. The other answer choices are incorrect because 20° would be too shallow of a trip angle, while 40° and 50° would be excessively steep and could prevent the anchor from releasing properly.
