Question 4918 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 833 foot-kips. The explanation is as follows: 1. The question is asking for the moment required to change the list by one inch (MCL1"). This can be calculated using the formula: MCL1" = (100 kips) x (70 ft - (-30 ft)) / (13 ft - 12.5 ft) = 833 foot-kips. 2. The reasoning behind this is that the moment required to change the list by one inch is directly proportional to the weight transferred (100 kips) and the distance between the center of gravity of the tanks (70 ft - (-30 ft) = 100 ft), and inversely proportional to the change in draft (13 ft - 12.5 ft = 0.5 ft). 3. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula and calculation to the given information.
