What is the VCG of the additional load if...

🔍 Key Concepts

• How to find the VCG (Vertical Center of Gravity) of an additional load using a trim-and-stability/load form sheet • How to read tank data from the DEEP DRILLER Sample Load Form #1 (Transit), especially the column that shows the VCG (or KG) of a full tank • Difference between the tank’s geometric center (center of volume) and the VCG used in the stability booklet/load form

💭 Think About

• Look at P-tank #4 on the Sample Load Form: which column shows the vertical location of the load when the tank is full, and is that already the VCG of the added load? • Ask yourself: when you "completely fill" a tank in the load form, does the VCG change with filling level, or is there a single tabulated VCG for that condition? • Compare the listed vertical position for P-tank #4 to the answer choices: which one matches the load form’s full-tank VCG entry most closely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are using the correct row (P-tank #4 only) and correct column (VCG / KG, not LCG or TCG) from the Sample Load Form • Confirm that you are looking at the full-tank condition values, not an intermediate sounding or percentage full table • Verify that you are not averaging with any other tanks or existing loads — the question asks only for the VCG of the additional load in P-tank #4 when it is completely filled

What is the VCG of the additional load if P-tank #4 in the DEEP DRILLER Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) is completely filled?
