Question 1792 Deck Safety
70% to passYou are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level forward is at the top of the 8, and the mean water level aft is at the top of the 8. What is the mean draft?
A
8'00"
B
8'06"
C
8'03"
D
7'06"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 8'06". The mean draft is calculated by taking the average of the forward and aft draft marks. In this case, the forward draft is at the top of the 8, which indicates 8 feet, and the aft draft is also at the top of the 8, which also indicates 8 feet. Therefore, the mean draft is the average of these two measurements, which is 8 feet and 6 inches (8'06"). The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the average of the forward and aft draft marks provided in the illustration.
