When the COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in the sample load form Number 3 (drilling), the hook load is placed in the pipe racks. What would be the new variable load?

A 2,381.0 kips
B 3,381.0 kips
C 3,658.8 kips
D 4,381.0 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 3,658.8 kips. When the COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in the sample load form Number 3 (drilling), the hook load is placed in the pipe racks. In this scenario, the new variable load would be the combined weight of the hook load and the pipe racks, which according to the information provided, is 3,658.8 kips. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 2,381.0 kips is too low and does not include the weight of the pipe racks. B) 3,381.0 kips is too low and does not accurately reflect the total variable load. D) 4,381.0 kips is too high and likely includes additional loads not specified in the scenario.
