Example 1.2
A rig must hoist a load of 300,000 lbf. The
drawworks can provide an input power to the
block and tackle system as high as 500 hp.
Eight lines are strung between the crown block
and traveling block. Calculate
1. The static tension in the fast line
when upward motion is impending,
2. the maximum hook horsepower
available,
28
Example 1.2, cont.
3. the maximum hoisting speed,
4. the actual derrick load,
5. the maximum equivalent derrick
load, and,
6. the derrick efficiency factor.
Assume that the rig floor is arranged as
shown in Fig. 1.17.

Solution
1. The power efficiency for n = 8 is
given as 0.841 in Table 1.2. The tension
in the fast line is given by Eq. 1.7.

Roll vs. Significant Wave Height
45
Significant wave height is the average height
of the 1/3 highest waves in a sample.
EXAMPLE The significant wave height in the
following sample is 24 ft.
7, 21, 19, 11, 18, 26, 13, 17, 25
[ Sign. WH = (21 + 26 + 25) / 3 = 24 ft ]
Avg. WH = (7, 21, 19, 11, 18, 26, 13, 17, 25) / 3 = 17.4 ft

Dynamic Stability - for certification

Dynamic Stability
For adequate stability, the area under the
righting moment curve to the second
intercept or to the down-flooding angle,
whichever is less, must be a given amount
in excess of the area under the wind
heeling moment curve to the same limiting
angle. The excess of this area must be at
least 40% for shiplike vessels and 30% for
column-stabilized units (see Fig. above).
