The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown is Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). What would be the change in vertical moments for Fresh Water if the entire contents of Drill Water Tank 5P are transferred to Drill Water Tank 5S?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2,689 ft-tons.
When transferring the entire contents of Drill Water Tank 5P to Drill Water Tank 5S, the change in vertical moments for Fresh Water would be 2,689 ft-tons. This is because the tanks are located at different longitudinal positions on the vessel, which results in a change in the overall vertical moment.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 5,683 ft-tons is too high and does not accurately reflect the change in vertical moments.
C) 306 ft-tons is too low and does not account for the different longitudinal positions of the tanks.
D) 000 ft-tons is incorrect, as there would be a measurable change in vertical moments due to the tank transfer.
