Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2044 (Set 62)

At an angle of loll, the righting moment is __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — negative

An angle of loll occurs when a vessel with negative initial GM heels over until the buoyant wedge creates a positive righting arm at a new angle. At the precise angle of loll itself, the righting moment is zero as the vessel balances in equilibrium.
