The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit). What are the new LM (longitudinal moments) if the entire contents of Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S are discharged?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal moment (LM) = weight × LCG distance from the longitudinal datum • How to remove a tank’s moment from the total when it is emptied • Using the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) to find the weight and LCG of Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S

💭 Think About

• From the Sample Load Form, what is the current total LM before any changes? • What are the individual moments contributed by Salt Water Ballast Tanks 1P and 1S, and what happens to those moments when the tanks are discharged? • After you adjust the total LM, which answer choice is closest to your new calculated total LM?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using the correct longitudinal reference point (aft or forward) that the load form uses for LCG distances. • Verify you have the correct weights for Tanks 1P and 1S from the Transit condition, not from another condition. • Double-check that you subtract (not add) the combined moment of Tanks 1P and 1S from the original total LM when they are discharged.
