The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 60 feet, has a KGL of 55.4 feet and an LCG of 2.37 feet. What is the trim in feet?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 4.0 feet by the head.
To calculate the trim, we use the formula: Trim = LCG / KGL * Draft
Given:
- Draft = 60 feet
- KGL = 55.4 feet
- LCG = 2.37 feet
Plugging these values into the formula:
Trim = 2.37 / 55.4 * 60 = 4.0 feet by the head
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 2.0 feet by the head is too small
C) 4.0 feet by the stern is the opposite of the correct answer
D) 8.0 feet by the stern is too large
