70% to passWhile preparing for a storm when elevated, the total weight of the COASTAL DRILLER is 14,150 kips, LM are 1,712,150 ft-kips, and TM are -9,905 ft-kips. The bow leg reaction is _______________.
A
4,536 kips
B
4,716 kips
C
4,748 kips
D
4,866 kips
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 4,536 kips. To calculate the bow leg reaction, we need to use the formula: Bow Leg Reaction = (LM + TM) / Boat Length. Given the values for LM (1,712,150 ft-kips) and TM (-9,905 ft-kips), we can plug them into the formula to get the bow leg reaction. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the result of the calculation using the provided information. Option B (4,716 kips), C (4,748 kips), and D (4,866 kips) are all incorrect values that do not correspond to the correct bow leg reaction of 4,536 kips.
