You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0036 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?

A 1.95 feet
B 0.90 foot
C 2.45 feet
D 1.05 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1.05 feet. To determine the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0036. The table shows the weight and height of each item in the cargo load. By calculating the weighted average of the heights, we can find the center of gravity. The calculation shows that the weighted average height of the cargo is 1.05 feet above the main deck, making D the correct answer. The other options are incorrect as they do not match the calculated center of gravity.
