🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of removing weight (liquid mud) on longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) and longitudinal metacentric height (GMl) • How to recompute longitudinal metacenter (ML) from KN/trim or hydrostatic data on the DEEP DRILLER form • Relationship between ML, KG, and GMl: GMl = ML - KG

💭 Think About

• When you dump all liquid mud, does the vessel’s KG go up or down, and how does that affect GMl and the numerical value of ML? • Look at where the mud tanks are located longitudinally. Does removing that weight change the ship’s LCG and therefore the trim and hydrostatics used to find ML? • Which value on the sample load form changes when you alter weights: ML itself, or KG/LCG, and how does that guide you toward which answer is reasonable?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify on the DEEP DRILLER Sample Load Form #4 which column or line actually lists the longitudinal metacenter (ML) in feet • Confirm whether the hydrostatic ML value is fixed for that displacement/trim, or if you are expected to recompute it from another table or curve • Double-check that you are not confusing GMl (longitudinal metacentric height) with ML (height of the longitudinal metacenter above keel) before comparing to the answer choices
