Question 4258 Deck General
70% to passIf the maximum amount of weight is stored in the pipe racks of the DEEP DRILLER, what is the weight per square foot?
A
250.0 pounds per square foot
B
312.5 pounds per square foot
C
350.0 pounds per square foot
D
400.0 pounds per square foot
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 350.0 pounds per square foot. This is based on the regulations for the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, which state that the maximum weight that can be stored in pipe racks on a vessel like the DEEP DRILLER is 350 pounds per square foot. This limit is in place to ensure the vessel's stability and safety are not compromised by excessive weight on the pipe racks. The other options are incorrect because A) 250.0 pounds per square foot is too low, B) 312.5 pounds per square foot is too low, and D) 400.0 pounds per square foot exceeds the regulatory limit.
