Question 4804 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 53.65 feet. To calculate the new KGT (Vertical Center of Gravity of the Total Load), we need to use the formula: KGT = (KG x W + (discharge weight x discharge height)) / (W - discharge weight) Where: - KG is the original Vertical Center of Gravity of the Total Load - W is the original Total Weight - Discharge weight is the weight of the discharged non-liquid load - Discharge height is the vertical position of the discharged load Plugging in the given values, we get: KGT = (KG x W + (275.8 x 130)) / (W - 275.8) This formula correctly accounts for the change in weight and vertical position of the load, resulting in the new KGT of 53.65 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly apply the formula to calculate the new KGT based on the given information.
