The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 19 feet, has a KGL of 59.91 feet and an LCG of 1.57 feet. What is the trim angle?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 0.3° by the stern.
To determine the trim angle, we can use the formula: Trim angle = tan^-1 ((LCG) / (KGL)).
Plugging in the given values, we get: Trim angle = tan^-1 (1.57 / 59.91) = 0.3° by the stern.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the result calculated using the formula. Option A (0.2°) is too low, while options C (0.4°) and D (0.5°) are too high compared to the correct value of 0.3° by the stern.
