Question 4740 Deck General

The correct answer is B) return to the angle of loll. When a floating MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) inclines to an angle slightly less than the angle of loll, it will return to the angle of loll. The angle of loll is the angle at which a floating structure becomes unstable and begins to capsize. If the MODU inclines to an angle just below this critical angle, the structure's buoyancy and stability will pull it back to the angle of loll, preventing further inclination and potential capsizing. The other options are incorrect because: A) the MODU will not incline less, as it is already at an angle close to the angle of loll; C) the MODU will not capsize at this angle, as it is just below the critical angle; and D) the MODU will not flop to the other side, as it is designed to return to the angle of loll.
