AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 1.09 feet. Explanation: 1. The correct answer is B) 1.09 feet. 2.

The provided information and formula in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) can be used to calculate the new FSCL. 3. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in FSCL after the discharge of the ballast tanks. 4. The provided information and formula in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) can be used to calculate the new FSCL.
