What is the change in transverse moments for the DEEP DRILLER if 103.48 long- tons of ballast is transferred from a full ballast tank 1P to an empty ballast tank 10S?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 15,181 foot-tons increase.
The change in transverse moments is calculated by multiplying the weight of the ballast (103.48 long-tons) by the distance between the centers of gravity of the two ballast tanks (187 feet). This results in a transverse moment increase of 15,181 foot-tons (103.48 long-tons x 187 feet).
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation for the change in transverse moments based on the given information. Option A is too high, option C is too low, and option D is half of the correct value.
