Question 1 of 27070

The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). What would be the new sum of transverse moments for Fuel Oil if the entire contents of Tank 4P are transferred to Tank 4S?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse moment for a tank = weight in the tank × its transverse distance (TP) from centerline • When transferring from 4P to 4S, the total fuel oil weight stays the same, but the location of that weight changes • You need the original transverse moments for all fuel tanks and then adjust only the two tanks involved (4P and 4S)

💭 Think About

• From Sample Load Form #4, identify the original weight and transverse moment for Tank 4P and Tank 4S • Think about what happens to the moment of 4P when it is emptied and to the moment of 4S when it receives that same weight • After adjusting the moments for 4P and 4S, recalculate the total fuel oil transverse moment sum and compare with the answer choices

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you read the TP (transverse position) correctly for each tank from the load form, including the sign (port vs starboard) • Confirm that you set Tank 4P’s weight and moment to zero after transfer, and add the transferred weight to Tank 4S using its TP • After recomputing, verify that your new total fuel oil moment is close to one of the options and that you did not change any other tanks by mistake
