[amp_mcq option1=”(i) and (iii)” option2=”(i) and (iv)” option3=”(ii) and (iii)” option4=”(ii) and (iv)” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is A. (i) and (iii).<\/p>\n
Metacentric height is the distance between the metacenter and the center of gravity of a ship. It is a measure of the ship’s stability. A higher metacentric height means that the ship is more stable and will return to its original upright position more quickly after being disturbed.<\/p>\n
A higher metacentric height also means that the ship will be more comfortable for passengers. This is because a more stable ship will experience less rolling and pitching motion.<\/p>\n
However, there is a limit to how high the metacentric height can be. If the metacentric height is too high, the ship will become unstable and may capsize.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the correct answer is A. (i) and (iii).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
