In the DEEP DRILLER, TCG is obtained from the sum of the transverse moments by _______________.

A subtracting the free surface correction
B dividing by displacement
C multiplying by displacement
D adding the free surface correction
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) dividing by displacement. The TCG (Transverse Center of Gravity) is obtained by dividing the sum of the transverse moments by the displacement of the vessel. This is in accordance with the principles of naval architecture and stability calculations. The other options are incorrect because: A) Subtracting the free surface correction would not yield the TCG. C) Multiplying by displacement would not provide the correct TCG value. D) Adding the free surface correction would not result in the TCG.
