okay, simple fraction math:

The two unknown sections of the beam, the 1/6 and 2/5, must be added together to find the fraction of the beam not above the water. LCD is 6x5=30. The result is 17/30. Subtract that result from one (the whole beam). 30/30 - 17/30 is 13/30. We now know that the 78' above the water is 13/30 of the whole beam.

Proportion time: The whole beam has 30 parts. 13 parts of the beam is a length of 78'. A single part is 78/13 = 6'. Multiply 6' by 30 and you get 180', the length of the whole beam.

Alternate Method: just set up the ratio and solve for x.

13/30 = 78/x, 13x = 78*30, x = 78*30/13, x = 6*30, x' = 180'.

What is a cement stinger?

An isolation tool set in the casing or liner that enables treatments to be applied to a lower interval while providing isolation from the annulus above. Cement retainers are typically used in cement squeeze or similar remedial treatments. A specially profiled probe, known as a stinger, is attached to the bottom of the tubing string to engage in the retainer during operation. When the stinger is removed, the valve assembly isolates the wellbore below the cement retainer.
