Question 2397Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 200 tons of below deck tonnage. There is no liquid mud aboard. If you have 140 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG above the deck of 4.2 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) 2.44 feet.
To determine the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo, we need to use the formula for the maximum VCG, which is: Maximum VCG = (200 tons x 0 feet + 140 tons x 4.2 feet) / (200 tons + 140 tons) = 2.44 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated maximum VCG based on the given information. Option A (0.56 foot) and Option B (0.87 foot) are too low, while Option C (1.04 feet) is also incorrect.
