Question 4932 Deck General
70% to passFor a MODU with trim, a decrease in GMT will cause the angle of inclination to _______________.
The correct answer is C) increase. A decrease in the GM (Metacentric Height) of a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) with trim will cause the angle of inclination to increase. This is because a decrease in GM reduces the vessel's stability, making it more susceptible to larger angles of heel or inclination. The other options are incorrect: A) Stabilize at an angle of loll is incorrect because a decrease in GM would not lead to a stable angle of loll, but rather an increase in the angle of inclination. B) Decrease is incorrect because a decrease in GM would lead to an increase in the angle of inclination, not a decrease. D) Remain constant is incorrect because a change in GM will affect the angle of inclination, causing it to increase.
