Question 4815 Deck General
70% to passWhat is the longitudinal shift in the center of gravity if 200 short tons is moved ten feet to port and 30 feet forward on a MODU with a displacement of 8,960 long tons?
A
0.20 foot
B
0.22 foot
C
0.67 foot
D
0.84 foot
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 0.67 foot. To calculate the longitudinal shift in the center of gravity, we can use the formula: Longitudinal shift = (Mass x Longitudinal distance) / Displacement. In this case, the mass moved is 200 short tons (or 180 long tons), the longitudinal distance is 30 feet, and the displacement of the MODU is 8,960 long tons. Plugging these values into the formula, we get a longitudinal shift of 0.67 foot. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given information.
