🔍 Key Concepts

• How to read and interpret the deck load graph for the DEEP DRILLER in Transit condition • Identifying the allowable deck load limit for transit and comparing it to the actual total deck load from Sample Load Form #1 • Converting between weight units (long tons, metric tons, or short tons) if needed, and making sure you use the same units throughout your calculation

💭 Think About

• First, from the deck load graph, determine the maximum allowable deck load for the unit in the transit condition shown • Next, carefully total the existing deck loads listed on Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) and make sure you haven’t missed any items • Then, subtract the total existing deck load from the allowable deck load to find how much additional deck load could still be added

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that you are using the correct curve/line on the deck load graph for the Transit condition (not survival, operation, etc.) • Double-check the units of the deck load graph and the Sample Load Form so that all values are in long tons before comparing them • Recheck your final subtraction: allowable deck load minus current deck load should be a positive value that matches most closely with one of the answer choices
