The height of the transverse metacenter of the Coastal Driller at a displacement of 13,050 kips is __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — 144.93 feet

Hydrostatic particulars for mobile offshore drilling units provide transverse metacentric heights (KMt) as a function of displacement. At a displacement of 13,050 kips, interpolation of the hydrostatic tables for the Coastal Driller establishes the transverse metacenter at 144.93 feet.
