70% to passYou are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0004 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?
A
3.6 feet
B
4.2 feet
C
4.4 feet
D
4.9 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 4.2 feet. The height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo is determined by the weight and dimensions of the individual items in the cargo load. Based on the information provided in the table ST-0004, the center of gravity can be calculated as 4.2 feet above the main deck. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the center of gravity based on the given cargo load information. Option A (3.6 feet) is too low, while options C (4.4 feet) and D (4.9 feet) are too high.
