Question 4389 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #3 (Preparing to Drill). According to the deck load graph, how much additional deck load could be added to the unit?
A
526.87 long tons
B
276.87 long tons
C
241.50 long tons
D
189.51 long tons
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 526.87 long tons. The deck load graph for the DEEP DRILLER shows that the current deck load is 273.13 long tons. The maximum allowable deck load is 800 long tons. Therefore, the additional deck load that could be added to the unit is the difference between the maximum allowable and the current deck load, which is 800 - 273.13 = 526.87 long tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the additional deck load capacity based on the information provided in the sample load form and deck load graph.
