70% to passWith no environmental forces on the DEEP DRILLER, the average of the forward drafts is 59.0 feet, and the average of the aft drafts is 61.0 feet. KGL is 51.13 feet. What is the value of LCG?
A
-0.12 foot
B
0.12 foot
C
2.11 feet
D
2.35 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2.11 feet. To calculate the LCG (Longitudinal Center of Gravity), we can use the formula: LCG = KGL - (Forward Draft + Aft Draft)/2 Given: - Average forward draft = 59.0 feet - Average aft draft = 61.0 feet - KGL = 51.13 feet Plugging these values into the formula: LCG = 51.13 - (59.0 + 61.0)/2 LCG = 51.13 - 60.0 LCG = 2.11 feet The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the LCG based on the provided information.
