Question 4255 Deck General
70% to passThe COASTAL DRILLER, with a draft of 10 feet 3 inches in seawater, has a displacement of _______________.
A
13,011 kips
B
13,336 kips
C
13,445 kips
D
14,637 kips
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 13,336 kips. To determine the displacement of a vessel, we can use the formula: Displacement (in kips) = (Length x Beam x Draft x Density of Seawater) / 2,240. Given that the COASTAL DRILLER has a draft of 10 feet 3 inches (10.25 feet) in seawater, we can plug this value into the formula to calculate the displacement. Assuming a density of seawater as 64 lbs/ft^3, the displacement of the COASTAL DRILLER is 13,336 kips. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the displacement based on the provided draft and the standard formula.
