What is the weight of 100 barrels of 17 pound per gallon drilling mud?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 71.4 kips.
To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the total weight of 100 barrels of 17 pound per gallon drilling mud.
One barrel of drilling mud weighs 17 pounds per gallon multiplied by the volume of one barrel, which is 42 gallons. This means one barrel of drilling mud weighs 17 x 42 = 714 pounds.
Multiplying this by 100 barrels gives us the total weight of 100 barrels of 17 pound per gallon drilling mud, which is 714 x 100 = 71,400 pounds, or 71.4 kips.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the total weight of 100 barrels of 17 pound per gallon drilling mud.
