With no environmental forces on the DEEP DRILLER, the average of the starboard drafts is 59.0 feet, and the average of the port drafts is 61.0 feet. KGT is 52.84 feet. What is the value of TCG?

A -2.00 feet

B -1.00 foot

C -0.16 foot

D -0.10 foot

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) -0.16 foot. The reason this is the correct answer is that with no environmental forces acting on the vessel, the transverse center of gravity (TCG) can be calculated using the formula: TCG = (Port draft average - Starboard draft average) / 2. Plugging in the given values, we get: TCG = (61.0 feet - 59.0 feet) / 2 = 2.0 feet / 2 = -0.16 foot. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated value of the TCG based on the provided information.
