AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 22,400 kips. To calculate the weight of the jack-up while floating in sea water, we need to use the formula: Weight = Volume x Density of Sea Water Given information: - The jack-up displaces 350,000 cubic feet. - The density of sea water is 64 pounds per cubic foot. Plugging in the values, we get: Weight = 350,000 cubic feet x 64 pounds/cubic foot Weight = 22,400,000 pounds Weight = 22,400 kips (where 1 kip = 1,000 pounds) The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the weight of the jack-up using the given information.
