🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse moments created by removing a load off-centerline • How leg reactions change when weight is added or removed from one side • Using the original leg reaction distribution from the sample load form to find the new reaction

💭 Think About

• When you remove 200 kips that was 30 feet to starboard of centerline, does that make the platform tend to heel to port or to starboard? How should that affect the starboard leg reaction? • What transverse moment (in kip-feet) is created by removing that weight, and how is that moment shared between the legs? • Start from the original starboard leg reaction on sample load form #3: is the change you calculate a small correction or a large one, compared with the total reaction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compute the transverse moment of the discharged weight: 200 kips × 30 ft = ? kip-ft • Confirm whether you should add or subtract the correction from the original starboard leg reaction based on the direction of heel • Check that the final sum of all leg reactions still matches the new total weight of the unit after discharging 200 kips
