Question 4422 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 7,099 kips. When a COASTAL DRILLER is properly preloaded, each of the leg reactions should be 7,099 kips. This is because the leg reactions are determined by the weight of the COASTAL DRILLER and the preload applied to the legs to keep the unit stable and prevent overturning. The 7,099 kips value is the calculated leg reaction based on the design specifications and operational parameters of the COASTAL DRILLER. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the expected leg reaction value for a properly preloaded COASTAL DRILLER. Option A (7,200 kips) and Option C (4,720 kips) are not the correct values, while Option D (3,381 kips) is too low to properly preload the COASTAL DRILLER.
