Question 2676 Deck Safety
70% to passYou are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0019 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?
The correct answer is B) 1.45 feet. To determine the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo, we need to calculate the weighted average of the heights of the individual items in the cargo. The table ST-0019 provides the dimensions and weights of the cargo items. By multiplying the height of each item by its weight and then dividing the sum of those products by the total weight of the cargo, we can find the height of the center of gravity. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the calculated weighted average height of the cargo's center of gravity based on the information provided in the table.
