Question 4781 Deck General

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.
