You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0036 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?

Correct Answer: Option D — 1.05 feet

Calculating the vertical center of gravity for the cargo configuration in table ST-0036 involves taking the sum of weight-height products divided by total weight. This fundamental vessel stability calculation verifies a final cargo center of gravity height of 1.05 feet.
