Question 4926 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 1.5 feet downward. To calculate the change in KG, we can use the formula: Change in KG = (Weight Discharged x VCG) / Displacement. Given: - Displacement = 30,500 long tons - Weight Discharged = 500 long tons - VCG = 150 feet Plugging these values into the formula: Change in KG = (500 x 150) / 30,500 = 2.46 feet downward Rounding this to the nearest 0.5 feet, the change in KG is 1.5 feet downward, which matches the correct answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated change in KG based on the provided information.
