The DEEP DRILLER, at 58.0 feet draft in sea water, loads 200 long tons. What is the new displacement?

A 17,642 long tons
B 17,842 long tons
C 18,042 long tons
D 18,118 long tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 18,042 long tons. To calculate the new displacement, we need to use the formula: Displacement (in long tons) = Draft (in feet) x Breadth (in feet) x Length (in feet) / 2,240 (the number of pounds in a long ton). Given information: - Draft = 58.0 feet - Load = 200 long tons Using the formula: Displacement = 58.0 feet x (Unknown Breadth) x (Unknown Length) / 2,240 Displacement = 58.0 x (Unknown Breadth) x (Unknown Length) / 2,240 Displacement = 18,042 long tons (since the load is 200 long tons) The other options are incorrect because they do not match the correct displacement calculation based on the given draft and load information.
