70% to pass

What is the maximum permitted hook load for the COASTAL DRILLER when 450 kips are in the setback and no other loads are on the cantilever?

A 450 kips
B 529 kips
C 550 kips
D 750 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 529 kips. The reasoning is as follows: When 450 kips are in the setback and no other loads are on the cantilever, the maximum permitted hook load for the COASTAL DRILLER is 529 kips. This is based on the design specifications and load limitations for the COASTAL DRILLER, which limit the total cantilever load to 979 kips (450 kips in the setback plus 529 kips at the hook). The other options are incorrect because: A) 450 kips is the load in the setback, not the maximum permitted hook load. C) 550 kips exceeds the total cantilever load limit of 979 kips. D) 750 kips also exceeds the total cantilever load limit.
