70% to passAboard a vessel, dividing the sum of the longitudinal moments by the total weight yields the vessel's _______________.
A
inclining moments
B
vertical moments
C
righting moments
D
longitudinal position of the center of gravity
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) longitudinal position of the center of gravity. Dividing the sum of the longitudinal moments by the total weight of a vessel yields the longitudinal position of the vessel's center of gravity. This is a standard calculation used to determine the longitudinal stability and trim of a vessel. The other answer choices - inclining moments, vertical moments, and righting moments - are related to different aspects of a vessel's stability, but do not directly yield the longitudinal position of the center of gravity.
