What is the increase in transverse moments for the Coastal Driller if 2.0 feet of drill water is transferred from a full drill water tank 23 to an empty drill water tank 6?

A 4783 foot-kips
B 3446 foot-kips
C 2109 foot-kips
D 1234 foot-kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 4783 foot-kips. When 2.0 feet of drill water is transferred from a full drill water tank 23 to an empty drill water tank 6, the transverse moment increases due to the change in the vertical center of gravity of the liquid. The increase in transverse moment can be calculated by multiplying the weight of the transferred liquid (2.0 feet x tank volume) by the transverse distance between the tank locations. This calculation results in an increase of 4783 foot-kips. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the increase in transverse moment based on the given information about the tank transfer.
