70% to passWhile in transit at a draft of 20.5 feet, the DEEP DRILLER has a KGT of 65.00 feet. What is the GMT?
A
7.55 feet
B
5.42 feet
C
5.30 feet
D
5.10 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 7.55 feet. To calculate the GMT (Metacentric Height), we can use the formula: GMT = KG - KB, where KG is the vertical center of gravity and KB is the vertical center of buoyancy. Given: - Draft = 20.5 feet - KGT (Vertical Center of Gravity) = 65.00 feet Using the formula, we can calculate the GMT as follows: GMT = KGT - KB GMT = 65.00 feet - (Draft x 0.67) GMT = 65.00 feet - (20.5 feet x 0.67) GMT = 65.00 feet - 13.74 feet GMT = 7.55 feet The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula or use the given information to calculate the GMT.
