Question 2339 Deck Safety
70% to passA weight of 250 tons is loaded on your vessel 95 feet forward of the tipping center. The vessel's MT1 is 1000 ft-tons. What is the total change of trim?
A
11.90 inches
B
18.75 inches
C
23.75 inches
D
38.01 inches
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 23.75 inches. To calculate the total change of trim, we can use the formula: Change of Trim = (Weight x Moment Arm) / MT1. In this case, the weight is 250 tons, the moment arm is 95 feet, and the MT1 is 1000 ft-tons. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: Change of Trim = (250 x 95) / 1000 = 23.75 inches. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given information. For example, option A) 11.90 inches and option B) 18.75 inches do not match the correct result of 23.75 inches.
