The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). What would be the new sum of longitudinal moments for the Stores & Supplies (Table 6) if paint weighing 3.48 tons is added to the paint locker?

Correct Answer: Option B — 1,688 foot-tons

Incorporating 3.48 tons of paint into the paint locker alters the longitudinal moment sum. Multiplying the added weight by its longitudinal arm relative to the reference point and combining it with baseline Table 6 values yields the updated longitudinal moment of 1,688 foot-tons.
