Question 2389Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 520 tons of below deck tonnage. There is no liquid mud. If you have 160 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG above the deck of 3.2, what is the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo that is permitted? See illustration D036DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2.79 feet.
The reasoning is as follows:
1) The total below-deck tonnage is 520 tons, and there is no liquid mud.
2) The cargo above deck is 160 tons with a VCG of 3.2 feet.
3) To calculate the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo, we can use the formula: (520 x 0) + (160 x 3.2) = Maximum Allowed VCG x Total Deck Cargo.
4) Solving for the Maximum Allowed VCG, we get 2.79 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula and calculations based on the given information.
