70% to pass

The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 55 feet, has a KGT of 53.05 feet and TCG of 0.5 foot to starboard. What is the list angle?

A 2.0°Starboard
B 2.9°Starboard
C 3.2°Starboard
D 3.5° starboard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2.9°Starboard. To calculate the list angle, we can use the formula: List Angle = tan^-1 (TCG / KGT), where TCG is the transverse center of gravity and KGT is the vertical center of gravity. Given the values of TCG (0.5 foot to starboard) and KGT (53.05 feet), the list angle can be calculated as tan^-1 (0.5 / 53.05), which equals 2.9 degrees to starboard. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the list angle based on the provided information.
