The purpose of the inclining experiment on a MODU is to determine the __________.
A. lightweight and lightweight center of gravity location
B. position of the center of buoyancy
C. position of the metacenter
D. maximum load line
A. lightweight and lightweight center of gravity location
B. position of the center of buoyancy
C. position of the metacenter
D. maximum load line
Just like a ship. Choice A. is the best answer.
ReplyDeleteChoices B and C are based on the shape of the displaced volume and are contained in the MODU's hydrostatic table just like a ship.
Choice D. is based on the Load Line Regulation. The vessel's Classification Society assigns the Maximum Load Line, consistent with water density and seasonal allowances.
ANS: ALPHA
ReplyDeleteThe inclining experiment, verifying all the engineering best guesstimates.
The confirmation of lightweight displacement, and CG.
