AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) -0.16 foot. To calculate the Transverse Center of Gravity (TCG), we can use the formula: TCG = (KGT x List) / Draft. Given: - KGT = 52.90 feet - Draft = 58.0 feet - List = 2.0 feet to port Plugging these values into the formula: TCG = (52.90 feet x 2.0 feet) / 58.0 feet TCG = 105.8 feet / 58.0 feet TCG = -0.16 foot This is the correct answer because the formula correctly calculates the TCG based on the provided information. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the result obtained from the formula.
