Which of the following formulas is an acceptable method to calculate the vertical shift of the vessel's center of gravity?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) GG'= (WxD)/Displacement.
This formula is an acceptable method to calculate the vertical shift of the vessel's center of gravity, as it is derived from the fundamental relationship between the vessel's displacement, weight, and draft. The vertical shift of the center of gravity, represented by GG', is directly proportional to the weight (W) and draft (D) of the vessel, and inversely proportional to the vessel's displacement.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the relationship between these parameters or do not provide a valid formula for calculating the vertical shift of the center of gravity.
