The liquid mud tanks on your vessel measure 24'L by 16'B by 8'D. The vessel's displacement in salt water (specific gravity 1.025
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A.
To calculate the vessel's displacement in salt water, we need to use the formula:
Displacement (in tons) = (Length x Breadth x Depth x Specific Gravity) / 2,240
Given information:
- Length (L) = 24 feet
- Breadth (B) = 16 feet
- Depth (D) = 8 feet
- Specific Gravity of salt water = 1.025
Plugging in the values:
Displacement = (24 x 16 x 8 x 1.025) / 2,240
Displacement = 28.8 tons
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
