Question 4272Deck General70% to pass
The height of the transverse metacenter of the Coastal Driller at a displacement of 13,050 kips is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 144.93 feet.
This is the correct answer based on the principles of naval architecture and the stability of ships. The transverse metacenter is a crucial parameter in determining the stability of a vessel, and its height above the vessel's center of gravity is a key factor in this calculation. For a displacement of 13,050 kips, the height of the transverse metacenter for the Coastal Driller is 144.93 feet, as determined through the appropriate naval architecture calculations and regulations.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated height of the transverse metacenter for the given displacement of the Coastal Driller.
