70% to pass

How much additional solid weight could be loaded at a VCG of 189.7 feet on the DEEP DRILLER while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling)? Assume ballast added or discharged to maintain draft is done so at 15 feet above the baseline.

A 279.2 long tons
B 314.2 long tons
C 404.2 long tons
D 461.9 long tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 314.2 long tons. The reasoning is as follows: 1. The load form shows the current weight, VCG, and other relevant information. 2. To calculate the additional weight that can be loaded, we need to determine the maximum allowable VCG and then calculate the difference between the current weight and the maximum weight. 3. The maximum allowable VCG is 189.7 feet, as stated in the question. 4. Using the formula and information provided, the additional weight that can be loaded is 314.2 long tons. 5. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the additional weight that can be loaded while maintaining the maximum allowable VCG.
