Question 4818 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 2.36 feet forward of amidships. To calculate the new LCG (Longitudinal Center of Gravity), we need to use the formula: LCG = (LCB * Displacement - Bulk * Moment Arm) / (Displacement - Bulk) Given: - Displacement = 20,000 long tons - LCB = 3.0 feet forward of amidships - Bulk = 300 long tons - Moment Arm = 40 feet aft of amidships Plugging in the values, we get: LCG = (3.0 * 20,000 - 300 * 40) / (20,000 - 300) LCG = (60,000 - 12,000) / 19,700 LCG = 48,000 / 19,700 LCG = 2.36 feet forward of amidships The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula or use the given information to calculate the new LCG.
