While 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 starboard leg reaction is _______________.

A 4,536 kips

B 4,698 kips

C 4,725 kips

D 4,890 kips

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 4,725 kips. To determine the starboard leg reaction, we need to use the principles of statics and calculate the forces acting on the structure. Given the total weight of the COASTAL DRILLER, the longitudinal moment (LM), and the transverse moment (TM), we can solve for the starboard leg reaction. The correct answer of 4,725 kips is derived by applying the equilibrium equation for the vertical forces and moments acting on the structure. The other options are incorrect because they do not satisfy the equilibrium conditions for the given parameters.
