The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). What would be the new sum of vertical moments for the Stores & Supplies if paint weighing 3.48 tons is added to the paint locker?

A 13,346 foot-tons
B 5,054 foot-tons
C 964 foot-tons
D 292 foot-tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 13,346 foot-tons. To explain, the question states that the DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). This means the initial vertical moments for the Stores & Supplies are already known. Adding 3.48 tons of paint to the paint locker would increase the total weight and change the vertical moment. Calculating the new sum of vertical moments for the Stores & Supplies with the added paint weight results in 13,346 foot-tons, making A the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in vertical moment when adding the 3.48 tons of paint to the existing load.
