Question 2541Deck Safety70% to pass
You have approximately 16 tons of fish on deck. What will be the shift in the center of gravity after you shift the fish to the fish hold, a vertical distance of 8 feet? (total displacement is 640 tons)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 0.2 foot.
The shift in the center of gravity when moving 16 tons of fish from the deck to the fish hold, a vertical distance of 8 feet, can be calculated using the formula: Shift in center of gravity = (Weight of object moved × Vertical distance moved) / Total displacement.
In this case, the weight of the object moved is 16 tons, the vertical distance is 8 feet, and the total displacement is 640 tons. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: Shift in center of gravity = (16 × 8) / 640 = 0.2 foot.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated shift in the center of gravity based on the given information.
