Question 4828 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 2.26 feet forward of amidships. The location of the longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) depends on the distribution of weight on the vessel. Since the DEEP DRILLER is level at a draft of 58 feet and there are no environmental forces, the LCG is 2.26 feet forward of amidships. This is the standard location for the LCG of a vessel in this condition, as per the stability and trim calculations for a vessel of this size and type. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the standard location of the LCG for a vessel in this condition. Option A is incorrect as the LCG is not located at amidships. Options B and D are also incorrect as they do not represent the correct distance forward of amidships for the LCG of the DEEP DRILLER in this scenario.
