In the DEEP DRILLER, the transverse free surface correction (FSCT) is obtained from the total of transverse free surface moments (FSMT) by _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) dividing by displacement.
The transverse free surface correction (FSCT) is obtained by dividing the total of transverse free surface moments (FSMT) by the displacement of the vessel. This is in accordance with the standard naval architecture formula for calculating the FSCT.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Subtracting the TCG (transverse center of gravity) from the FSMT would not yield the FSCT.
B) Adding the TCG to the FSMT would not correctly calculate the FSCT.
D) Multiplying the FSMT by displacement would not be the correct way to obtain the FSCT.
