The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 58 feet, has VM of 900,000 ft-tons, and FSMT of 20,000 ft-tons. What is the KGT?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 51.6 feet.
To calculate the KGT (Keel to Gravity Transverse), we can use the formula:
KGT = √(VM / FSMT)
Given:
- VM (Vertical Moment) = 900,000 ft-tons
- FSMT (Full Submersion Moment) = 20,000 ft-tons
Plugging these values into the formula:
KGT = √(900,000 / 20,000)
KGT = √45
KGT = 51.6 feet
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 51.6 feet. The KGT is a specific calculation based on the provided vessel characteristics, and the correct answer reflects the proper application of the formula.
