Question 2525 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) 25 seconds. The formula to calculate the average rolling period (T) of a vessel is: T = 2π * √(GM/g) Where: - T is the average rolling period in seconds - GM is the metacentric height in feet - g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 32.2 ft/s² Given: - Metacentric height (GM) = 1.12 feet - Beam = 60 feet Plugging these values into the formula: T = 2π * √(1.12/32.2) T = 25 seconds The other options are incorrect because: A) 23 seconds is too low for the given metacentric height and beam. B) 35 seconds is too high for the given metacentric height and beam. D) 20 seconds is too low for the given metacentric height and beam.
