70% to passThe figure obtained by dividing the total volume of the ship in cubic feet (after omission of exempted spaces) by 100 is the _______________.
A
net tonnage
B
light displacement
C
bale cubic
D
gross tonnage
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) gross tonnage. The figure obtained by dividing the total volume of the ship in cubic feet (after omission of exempted spaces) by 100 is the gross tonnage of the vessel. This is defined in maritime regulations as a measure of the overall internal volume of a ship. It is calculated by dividing the ship's total enclosed volume by 100 cubic feet, which gives the gross tonnage. The other options, such as net tonnage, light displacement, and bale cubic, measure different aspects of a ship's size and capacity, but do not directly correlate to the calculation described in the question.
