Question 665General Subjects - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) "E" and "B". When responding to a 'right rudder' command from the amidships position, the components of the steering gear system that will be subjected to the highest pressure are the ram cylinder (E) and the pump (B). This is because the right rudder command requires the hydraulic steering system to apply force to the right side of the rudder, which in turn creates higher pressure in the ram cylinder and the pump that supplies the hydraulic fluid. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately identify the components that would experience the highest pressure during a right rudder command. For example, options A and D incorrectly identify the components as "C" and "F", which are not the primary pressure-bearing components in this scenario.
