The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit). What is the new longitudinal free surface correction (FSCL) if the entire contents of Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S are discharged?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1.09 feet.
Explanation:
1. The correct answer is B) 1.09 feet.
2. When the contents of the Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S are discharged, the free surface effect of the ballast tanks is reduced, which results in a decrease in the longitudinal free surface correction (FSCL). The provided information and formula in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) can be used to calculate the new FSCL.
3. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in FSCL after the discharge of the ballast tanks.
4. The provided information and formula in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) can be used to calculate the new FSCL.
