The DEEP DRILLER, at 60.0 feet draft in sea water, has VM = 974,441 foot-long tons, LM = 40,301 foot-long tons, TM = 3 foot-long tons, FSML = 30,572 foot-long tons, and FSMT = 18,732 foot-long tons. What is TCG?

A 0.00 feet

B 1.03 feet

C 2.22 feet

D 3.91 feet

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 0.00 feet. To calculate the transverse center of gravity (TCG), we need to use the formula: TCG = (LM - FSML) / (VM - FSMT). Given the values in the problem: VM = 974,441 foot-long tons LM = 40,301 foot-long tons FSML = 30,572 foot-long tons FSMT = 18,732 foot-long tons Plugging these values into the formula: TCG = (40,301 - 30,572) / (974,441 - 18,732) TCG = 9,729 / 955,709 TCG = 0.00 feet The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 0.00 feet for the TCG.
