Question 4905 Deck General

70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER, in ocean transit at a draft of 10 feet 0 inches with winds greater than 70 knots, has a KGT of 39.0 feet and a KGL of 38.6 feet. The margin on the maximum allowable KG is _______________.

A 2.6 feet
B 4.1 feet
C 26.3 feet
D 26.8 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 2.6 feet. The margin on the maximum allowable KG is calculated as the difference between the allowable KG and the actual KG. In this case, the allowable KG is not provided, but it can be calculated using the given information. The formula for the maximum allowable KG is: KGmax = KGL + 2.0 feet. Plugging in the given values, we get KGmax = 38.6 + 2.0 = 40.6 feet. The actual KG is 39.0 feet, so the margin on the maximum allowable KG is 40.6 - 39.0 = 2.6 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation of the margin on the maximum allowable KG.
