Question 2654 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 2.3 feet. To determine the righting arm at 50° inclination, you need to use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, given the vessel's drafts and the center of gravity being 0.5 foot off center. Using the stability curves and the provided information, the righting arm at 50° inclination is 2.3 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value obtained from the stability curves for the given vessel characteristics.
