70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER, while elevated in 200 feet of water, has 2 knots of current, 50 knots of wind, and 30 foot seas. What is the maximum leg reaction for drilling?

A 6,090 kips
B 5,980 kips
C 5,540 kips
D 5,320 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 6,090 kips. To determine the maximum leg reaction for the given conditions, we need to consider the environmental forces acting on the offshore drilling unit. With 200 feet of water depth, 2 knots of current, 50 knots of wind, and 30-foot seas, the maximum leg reaction would be calculated using established engineering principles and industry standards. The answer of 6,090 kips represents the maximum force that the legs of the drilling unit can withstand under these environmental conditions. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated maximum leg reaction based on the provided information.
