Question 4602 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER is observed to be level at a draft of 60.0 feet. At the same time, the calculated load form shows the displacement to be 17,845 long tons, total longitudinal moment 51,466 foot-kips, and total transverse moments -10,000 foot-kips. What is the transverse location of the missing load?
A
36.67 feet
B
0.56 foot
C
-0.55 foot
D
-36.67 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) -36.67 feet. The transverse location of the missing load can be calculated using the formula: transverse location = total transverse moment / total displacement. Given the total transverse moment of -10,000 foot-kips and the total displacement of 17,845 long tons, the transverse location is -10,000 / 17,845 = -0.56 foot or -36.67 feet. The other options are incorrect because A) 36.67 feet is the absolute value of the correct answer, B) 0.56 foot is the incorrect sign, and C) -0.55 foot is a slightly different calculation.
