Question 2395Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 710 tons of below deck tonnage. There is no liquid mud aboard. If you have 150 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG above the deck of 3.1 feet, 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 D) 2.78 feet.
The explanation is as follows:
1. The question states that there is 710 tons of below deck tonnage and 150 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG of 3.1 feet. To find the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo, we need to use the formula for stability and the given information.
2. The correct answer of 2.78 feet is calculated by using the formula: (710 x 0) + (150 x 3.1) = (remainder x VCG), where the remainder is the unknown tonnage above deck and the VCG is the maximum allowed VCG. Solving for the VCG gives us the answer of 2.78 feet.
3. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 2.78 feet, which is the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo based on the given information.
