The DEEP DRILLER is observed to be level at a draft of 60.0 feet. At the same time, the calculated load form shows the displacement to be 17,845 long tons, total longitudinal moment 51,466 foot-kips, and total transverse moments -10,000 foot-kips. What is the transverse location of the missing load?

Correct Answer: Option D — -36.67 feet

Transverse moment equals weight multiplied by transverse distance. Dividing the total transverse moment (-10,000 foot-kips) by the displacement of the missing load (calculated via standard hydrostatic formulas) yields the exact off-center transverse location of -36.67 feet.
