Question 4860 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 1.04 feet upward. To calculate the change in KG, we need to use the formula: New KG = (Original KG * Original Displacement + Change in Height * Additional Load) / (Original Displacement + Additional Load). Given: - Original Displacement: 19,700 long tons - Original KG: 50.96 feet - Additional Load: 300 long tons - Change in Height: 120 feet Plugging these values into the formula: New KG = (50.96 * 19,700 + 120 * 300) / (19,700 + 300) = 52.00 feet The change in KG is therefore 52.00 feet - 50.96 feet = 1.04 feet upward, which matches answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 1.04 feet upward.
