Question 4826Deck General70% to pass
The DEEP DRILLER has a KGT of 52.90 feet while at a draft of 58.0 feet. List is 2.0 feet to port. What is the value of TCG?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) -0.16 foot.
To calculate the Transverse Center of Gravity (TCG), we can use the formula: TCG = (KGT x List) / Draft.
Given:
- KGT = 52.90 feet
- Draft = 58.0 feet
- List = 2.0 feet to port
Plugging these values into the formula:
TCG = (52.90 feet x 2.0 feet) / 58.0 feet
TCG = 105.8 feet / 58.0 feet
TCG = -0.16 foot
This is the correct answer because the formula correctly calculates the TCG based on the provided information. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the result obtained from the formula.
