Question 2548 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) Available GM 5.0 ft. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you need to use the stability data provided in the table ST-0065 and refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the information given, the available GM is 5.0 ft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the GM value calculated from the provided stability data. Option B (5.4 ft) and C (6.1 ft) are too high, while option D (6.8 ft) is too high.
