The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 60 feet, has a KGL of 55.4 feet and an LCG of 2.37 feet. What is the trim in feet?

A 2.0 feet by the head
B 4.0 feet by the head
C 4.0 feet by the stern
D 8.0 feet by the stern
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 4.0 feet by the head. To calculate the trim, we use the formula: Trim = LCG / KGL * Draft Given: - Draft = 60 feet - KGL = 55.4 feet - LCG = 2.37 feet Plugging these values into the formula: Trim = 2.37 / 55.4 * 60 = 4.0 feet by the head The other options are incorrect because: A) 2.0 feet by the head is too small C) 4.0 feet by the stern is the opposite of the correct answer D) 8.0 feet by the stern is too large
