Question 2404 Deck Safety
70% to passYou have 240 tons of below deck tonnage. There is no liquid mud aboard. If you have 360 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG above the deck of 2.9 feet, what is the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo that is permitted? See illustration D036DG below.
A
1.35 feet
B
1.86 feet
C
2.56 feet
D
3.60 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 3.60 feet. To determine the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo, we need to use the formula for stability provided in the Coast Guard regulations. With 240 tons of below deck tonnage and 360 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG of 2.9 feet, the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo is 3.60 feet. This ensures that the overall VCG of the vessel remains within the stability requirements. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly apply the stability formula and exceed the maximum allowed VCG based on the given information.
