The stability number used in armour design is defined as
Answer: D
Correct answer: wave height divided by the relative density and the unit size
The stability number is
\[ N_s = \frac{H}{\Delta D_{n50}} \]with \( \Delta \) the relative buoyant density of the unit and \( D_{n50} \) its nominal diameter. It is the dimensionless group in which every armour stability formula is expressed, and it makes plain what can be traded: a denser unit or a larger one both reduce it, and a larger wave raises it.
