Question 2103 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 17°. The danger angle for a permanent list is typically considered to be half the angle of the peak of the static stability curve. Since the static stability curve peaks at 34°, the danger angle for a permanent list would be approximately 17°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 8.5° is too low and does not correspond to half the peak angle. C) 34° is the peak angle of the static stability curve, not the danger angle. D) 51° is too high and does not correspond to half the peak angle.
