70% to pass

The lightweight longitudinal free surface moments for the DEEP DRILLER are _______________.

A 680,914 ft-long tons
B 000 ft-long tons
C -5,937 ft-long tons
D -6,716 ft-long tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 000 ft-long tons. The lightweight longitudinal free surface moments for the DEEP DRILLER are 000 ft-long tons. This is because the DEEP DRILLER is a vessel that does not have any free surface moments, as it does not have any tanks or compartments that can experience free surface effect. Without any free surface moments, the value would be 000 ft-long tons. The other options are incorrect because they represent non-zero values for the free surface moments, which would not be accurate for a vessel without any free surface effects.
