Question 2391 Deck Safety
70% to passYou have 600 tons of below deck tonnage. There is no liquid mud aboard. If you have 150 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG above the deck of 2.8 feet, what is the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo that is permitted? See illustration D036DG below.
A
1.96 feet
B
2.25 feet
C
3.20 feet
D
3.55 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3.20 feet. The reasoning behind this is that with 600 tons of below deck tonnage and 150 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG of 2.8 feet, the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo is determined by the formula: (600 x 0 + 150 x 2.8) / (600 + 150) = 3.20 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the maximum allowed VCG given the provided information.
