70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 50 feet, has a KGT of 52.12 feet and TCG of 0.5 foot to port of the longitudinal centerline. What is the list in feet?
A
2.7 feet to port
B
5.4 feet to port
C
5.7 feet to port
D
10.8 feet to port
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 5.4 feet to port. To calculate the list of the DEEP DRILLER, we can use the formula: List = TCG / KGT * Draft, where TCG is the transverse center of gravity and KGT is the vertical center of gravity. Given the information: - Draft = 50 feet - KGT = 52.12 feet - TCG = 0.5 foot to port Plugging these values into the formula: List = TCG / KGT * Draft List = 0.5 / 52.12 * 50 List = 0.48 * 50 List = 5.4 feet to port The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation using the provided information.
