70% to pass

You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0030 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?

A 1.20 feet
B 1.64 feet
C 2.26 feet
D 3.00 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 2.26 feet. The height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo is calculated based on the information provided in table ST-0030. The table lists the weight and center of gravity height for each item in the cargo load. By taking the weighted average of the center of gravity heights, accounting for the individual item weights, the overall center of gravity height of the cargo is determined to be 2.26 feet above the main deck. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated center of gravity height based on the data provided in the table.
