Question 4853Deck General70% to pass
While loaded as shown in the DEEP DRILLER Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), all of the liquid mud is dumped. What is the new longitudinal metacentric height?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 7.33 feet.
When the liquid mud is dumped, the weight of the vessel decreases, which leads to an increase in the longitudinal metacentric height (GM). Based on the information provided in the DEEP DRILLER Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), the new longitudinal metacentric height after dumping the liquid mud is 7.33 feet.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 5.02 feet is the original longitudinal metacentric height before the liquid mud is dumped.
B) 5.65 feet and D) 7.63 feet are not the correct values for the new longitudinal metacentric height after the liquid mud is dumped.
