Question 2547 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) Available GM 3.2 ft. The reasoning is as follows: 1) Using the stability data provided in table ST-0080, along with the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, the available GM (Metacentric Height) for the SS AMERICAN MARINER in the given load condition is calculated to be 3.2 ft. 2) This is the correct answer based on the information provided in the stability data and the procedures outlined in the reference book for determining the available GM. 3) The other options are incorrect as they do not match the calculated value of 3.2 ft for the available GM in this specific load condition.
