You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0020 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?

A 1.76 feet

B 2.32 feet

C 1.97 feet

D 2.21 feet

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 1.97 feet. To determine the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo, you need to calculate the weighted average of the heights of the individual items based on their weights. This is done by multiplying the weight of each item by its height, summing the results, and dividing by the total weight of the cargo. The provided table ST-0020 contains the necessary information to perform this calculation, and the result is 1.97 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the correct weighted average calculation based on the given data.
