70% to pass

Because of the presence of 75 knot winds, the DEEP DRILLER is at survival draft. KGL is 1.24 feet less than the maximum allowed. What is the value of GML?

A 0.15 foot
B 1.00 foot
C 1.24 feet
D 1.39 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1.39 feet. The key information provided is that the DEEP DRILLER is at survival draft due to 75 knot winds, and the KGL (Keel to Gunwale Line) is 1.24 feet less than the maximum allowed. To find the value of GML (Gunwale to Molded Line), we can use the formula GML = KGL + 1.24 feet, since the KGL is 1.24 feet less than the maximum allowed. The other options are incorrect because: A) 0.15 foot is too low, as the KGL is 1.24 feet less than the maximum. B) 1.00 foot is too low, as the KGL is 1.24 feet less than the maximum. C) 1.24 feet is the difference between the maximum KGL and the actual KGL, not the GML.
