620. The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #3 (Preparing to Drill). If the liquid mud in mud pit #4 (see table 8) is dumped, what would be the new height of the center of gravity corrected for transverse free surface effects?

After dumping mud pit #4, the new height of the center of gravity, corrected for transverse free surface effects, is 52.88 feet. This result is obtained by recalculating the ship's vertical center of gravity and the free-surface correction using data from Sample Load Form #3 and Table 8.
