70% to pass

The DEEP DRILLER has a KGL of 53.16 feet while at a draft of 58.0 feet. Although there are no environmental forces, trim is 2.0 feet by the stern. What is the value of LCG?

A 2.16 feet
B 2.26 feet
C 2.36 feet
D 2.46 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 2.16 feet. To calculate the LCG (Longitudinal Center of Gravity), we can use the formula: LCG = KGL - (Trim x Draft). Given that the DEEP DRILLER has a KGL of 53.16 feet at a draft of 58.0 feet and a trim of 2.0 feet by the stern, the LCG can be calculated as 53.16 - (2.0 x 58.0) = 2.16 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the result obtained from the formula. Applying the correct formula is the key to determining the accurate value of the LCG.
