The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit). What are the new TM (transverse moments) if the entire contents of Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S are discharged?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 3,446 ft-tons.
When the contents of the Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S are discharged, the transverse moment (TM) would increase by 3,446 ft-tons. This is because the removal of the ballast water from these tanks would reduce the weight distribution on the vessel, resulting in a higher TM value.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in TM based on the given information. Option A) -3,436 ft-tons is incorrect, as the TM would increase, not decrease. Options C) 3,594 ft-tons and D) 22,682 ft-tons are also incorrect, as they do not match the correct value of 3,446 ft-tons.
