Final answer:
In this case, the maximum distance from the top surface of the front bulkhead where the upper support member may be attached is 76.5 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the maximum distance from the top surface of the front bulkhead where the upper support member may be attached, we need to consider the given information about the lower hold bulkhead.
According to the information provided, the lower hold bulkhead is 12 meters deep. The transverse widths of the bulkhead, starting from the upper edge and spaced at 3-meter intervals, are given as follows: 15.4, 15.4, 15.4, 15.3, and 15 meters, respectively.
To find the maximum distance, we need to calculate the cumulative widths of the bulkheads from the top surface until the desired distance is reached.
Let's calculate the cumulative widths step-by-step:
- 1. Start from the top surface of the front bulkhead.
- 2. Add the width of the first bulkhead, which is 15.4 meters.
- 3. Add the width of the second bulkhead, which is also 15.4 meters.
- 4. Add the width of the third bulkhead, which is 15.4 meters.
- 5. Add the width of the fourth bulkhead, which is 15.3 meters.
- 6. Finally, add the width of the fifth and last bulkhead, which is 15 meters.
By summing up these widths, we get a total of 76.5 meters.
Therefore, the maximum distance from the top surface of the front bulkhead where the upper support member may be attached is 76.5 meters.
Your question is incomplete, but most probably the full question was:
A lower hold bulkhead is 12 metres deep. The transverse widths of the bulk- head, commencing at the upper edge and spaced at 3-m intervals, are as follows: 15.4, 15.4, 15.4, 15.3 and 15 m, respectively
What maximum distance from the top surface of the front bulkhead may the upper support member be attached?
