Question 4895Deck General70% to pass
Because there is a possibility of fuel oil being discharged overboard from a full fuel oil tank, it is decided to transfer 25 kips from tank 14 to tank 13. See COASTAL DRILLER Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move). What would be the change in transverse moments with this transfer?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 2010 ft-kips.
The change in transverse moments resulting from the transfer of 25 kips from tank 14 to tank 13 would be 2010 ft-kips. This is because the moment arm (distance from the center of gravity) for tank 14 is longer than the moment arm for tank 13, leading to a larger change in the overall transverse moment.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in transverse moments based on the given information and the change in weight distribution between the two tanks.
