Question 2545 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Available GM 4.8 ft. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you need to use the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the load shown in table ST-0071, the available GM is 4.8 ft, as indicated in the reference book. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value found in the Stability Data Reference Book for the given load condition. The reference book is the authoritative source for determining the available GM, and the answer must be based on the information provided in this reference.
