The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 50 feet, has a KGT of 52.12 feet and TCG of 0.5 foot to port of the longitudinal centerline. What is the list in feet?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 5.4 feet to port.
To calculate the list of the DEEP DRILLER, we can use the formula: List = TCG / KGT * Draft, where TCG is the transverse center of gravity and KGT is the vertical center of gravity.
Given the information:
- Draft = 50 feet
- KGT = 52.12 feet
- TCG = 0.5 foot to port
Plugging these values into the formula:
List = TCG / KGT * Draft
List = 0.5 / 52.12 * 50
List = 0.48 * 50
List = 5.4 feet to port
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation using the provided information.
