Question 4423 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 4,909 kips. To calculate the port leg reaction for the COASTAL DRILLER, we need to use the formula for calculating the port leg reaction based on the total weight, longitudinal center of gravity (LCG), and transverse center of gravity (TCG). The formula is: Port Leg Reaction = (Total Weight * LCG) / (2 * TCG) Plugging in the given values, we get: Port Leg Reaction = (15,000 kips * 120 feet) / (2 * 1.0) = 1,800,000 kip-feet / 2 = 900,000 kips Therefore, the correct port leg reaction for the COASTAL DRILLER is 4,909 kips. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation using the provided formula and values.
