Question 4806 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER, at 60.0 feet draft in sea water, has VM = 974,441 foot-long tons, LM = 40,301 foot-long tons, TM = 3 foot-long tons, FSML = 30,572 foot-long tons, and FSMT = 18,732 foot-long tons, and FSMT = 18,732 foot-long tons. What is the LCG?
A
0.00 feet
B
1.69 feet
C
2.22 feet
D
3.91 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2.22 feet. To calculate the LCG (Longitudinal Center of Gravity), we can use the formula: LCG = (LM + FSML) / (VM + TM). Plugging in the given values, we get: LCG = (40,301 + 30,572) / (974,441 + 3) LCG = 70,873 / 974,444 LCG = 2.22 feet The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 2.22 feet. The LCG represents the longitudinal position of the vessel's center of gravity, and this calculation is a standard procedure for determining this important parameter in marine operations.
