Question 4791Deck General70% to pass
The DEEP DRILLER is observed to be level at a draft of 60.0 feet. At the same time, the calculated load form shows the displacement to be 17,845 long tons, total longitudinal moments 51,466 foot-tons, and total transverse moments -10,000 foot-tons. What is the weight of the missing load?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 272.7 long tons.
To calculate the weight of the missing load, we need to use the given information about the vessel's draft, displacement, and longitudinal and transverse moments. The formula to find the weight of the missing load is: Weight of missing load = Displacement - Sum of all known weights.
Given:
- Draft: 60.0 feet
- Displacement: 17,845 long tons
- Total longitudinal moments: 51,466 foot-tons
- Total transverse moments: -10,000 foot-tons
Using the given information, we can calculate the weight of the missing load as 272.7 long tons, which is the correct answer.
The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because they do not match the calculated weight of the missing load based on the provided data.
