Question 4855 Deck General
70% to passThe height of the transverse metacenter for a MODU is 62.44 feet. The height of the center of gravity is 56.10 feet, and the transverse free surface correction is 1.21 feet. What is the value of the metacentric height corrected for transverse free surface effects?
A
5.13 feet
B
6.34 feet
C
8.76 feet
D
12.10 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 5.13 feet. To calculate the metacentric height corrected for transverse free surface effects, you use the formula: Metacentric height = Height of the transverse metacenter - Height of the center of gravity - Transverse free surface correction. Plugging in the given values, we get: Metacentric height = 62.44 feet - 56.10 feet - 1.21 feet = 5.13 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the result of the correct calculation. The metacentric height is not 6.34 feet, 8.76 feet, or 12.10 feet.
