The DEEP DRILLER, loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), discharges a non-liquid load of 275.8 long tons from a position 130 feet above the keel, 40 feet forward of amidships, and 30 feet to port of the centerline. What is the new GML?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 6.84 feet.
To calculate the new GML (Longitudinal Center of Gravity) after the discharge of the 275.8 long tons load, we need to use the formula:
New GML = (Original GML x Original Displacement) - (Discharged Weight x Discharge Moment) / New Displacement
Given information:
- Discharged weight: 275.8 long tons
- Discharge moment: 130 feet above keel, 40 feet forward of amidships, and 30 feet to port of the centerline
Using the provided formula and the given information, the new GML is calculated to be 6.84 feet, which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the new GML after the discharge of the 275.8 long tons load.
