Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2049 (Set 62)

The value of the righting arm at an angle of loll is __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — negative

When a vessel rests at an angle of loll due to negative initial GM, the righting arm is negative. Any deviation from this loll angle produces a heeling moment rather than a righting moment, representing an unstable condition until weight is lowered.
