The COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form Number 3 (Rig Move). What would be the new sum of vertical moments for the liquid variables if the entire contents of tank 20 are transferred to tank 13?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2,244 ft-kips.
To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the change in the sum of vertical moments for the liquid variables when the entire contents of tank 20 are transferred to tank 13. This can be done by subtracting the original sum of vertical moments and adding the new sum of vertical moments.
The original sum of vertical moments for the liquid variables is given as 2,365 ft-kips. After transferring the contents of tank 20 to tank 13, the new sum of vertical moments would be 2,244 ft-kips, which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in the sum of vertical moments after the liquid transfer.
