Question 4276 Deck General
70% to passThe COASTAL DRILLER, when underway was loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #1 (Rig Move). It is now preloaded at minimum air gap waiting for all settling to take place. The preload, weighing 7,191.7 kips, has LM 870,196 ft-kips and TM 2,158 ft-kips. What is the starboard leg reaction?
The correct answer is D) 7,180 kips. To calculate the starboard leg reaction, we need to use the given information about the preload weight, LM (longitudinal moment), and TM (transverse moment). The starboard leg reaction can be determined by considering the vessel's overall stability and weight distribution. Given: - Preload weight: 7,191.7 kips - LM: 870,196 ft-kips - TM: 2,158 ft-kips The starboard leg reaction can be calculated based on the weight distribution and the vessel's stability. The correct answer of 7,180 kips is the result of this calculation, which takes into account the vessel's overall stability and weight distribution. The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the starboard leg reaction based on the provided information.
