Question 2334 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Your drafts are: FWD 20'-08", AFT 25'-03". Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the MT1.

A 1130 foot-tons
B 1095 foot-tons
C 1070 foot-tons
D 1025 foot-tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 1070 foot-tons. To determine the MT1 (moment to trim one inch), we need to use the data from the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. With a forward draft of 20'-08" and an aft draft of 25'-03", we can find the corresponding MT1 value, which is 1070 foot-tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the MT1 value for the given drafts according to the reference book. Correctly using the stability data is a crucial skill for passing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination.
