Question 2551 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Available GM 4.3 ft. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you would need to use the stability data provided in the table ST-0074 and the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the information given, the available GM is 4.3 ft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value calculated using the provided stability data and the reference book. Option A (3.6 ft) and Option C (3.9 ft) are lower than the correct value, while Option B (4.1 ft) is slightly lower than the correct answer of 4.3 ft.
