Question 2512 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A. To calculate the vessel's displacement in salt water, we need to use the formula: Displacement (in tons) = (Length x Breadth x Depth x Specific Gravity) / 2,240 Given information: - Length (L) = 24 feet - Breadth (B) = 16 feet - Depth (D) = 8 feet - Specific Gravity of salt water = 1.025 Plugging in the values: Displacement = (24 x 16 x 8 x 1.025) / 2,240 Displacement = 28.8 tons Therefore, the correct answer is A.
