Question 4597 Deck General
70% to passIn the DEEP DRILLER, VCG is obtained from the sum of the vertical moments by _______________.
A
adding displacement
B
dividing by displacement
C
multiplying by displacement
D
subtracting displacement
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) dividing by displacement. The vertical center of gravity (VCG) is obtained by dividing the sum of the vertical moments by the total displacement of the vessel. This is the standard formula used to calculate the VCG, as it takes into account the weight and position of all the components on board the vessel to determine the overall center of gravity. The other options are incorrect because: A) adding displacement would not give the VCG, C) multiplying by displacement would not be the correct mathematical operation, and D) subtracting displacement is not the way to calculate VCG.
