The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #2 (Ballasting to Survival). What is the VCG of the added liquid if 100.76 long tons of ballast are added to Ballast Tank #8S?

A 1.35 feet
B 6.95 feet
C 8.30 feet
D 15.26 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 15.26 feet. To determine the VCG (Vertical Center of Gravity) of the added liquid, we need to consider the weight and vertical position of the added ballast. According to the problem, 100.76 long tons of ballast are added to Ballast Tank #8S. The VCG of the added liquid is calculated by multiplying the weight of the added ballast (100.76 long tons) by its vertical position (15.26 feet), and then dividing by the total weight of the added ballast. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the VCG of the added liquid based on the given information.
