Which statement(s) about statical stability curves is correct?

The statement that statical stability curves show righting arms at various angles is accurate because these curves graphically represent the relationship between the angle of heel (the tilt of the vessel) and the righting arm (the moment that tends to bring the vessel back to an upright position). As a vessel heels over, the righting arm changes, which can be plotted on a graph. This curve is essential for understanding the stability of the vessel under different heeling conditions, enabling mariners to assess the vessel’s ability to recover from a tilt safely.

The other options do not correctly describe statical stability curves. Statical stability curves are not limited to situations at the dock; they apply at any point where the ship is either stationary or moving slowly, providing vital information regardless of location. Additionally, these curves do not focus solely on the maximum beam width of the vessel but rather on the interaction between heeling and stability. Thus, the correct interpretation of statical stability curves is primarily related to righting arms at various angles.
