Question 2717 Deck Safety
70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 6048 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 270.89 feet. See table ST-0109 below for the distribution of the cargo to be loaded. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo.
The correct answer is B) LCG-FP 266.6 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0109 and the Stability Data Reference Book. The table gives the distribution of the 6048 tons of cargo, and we can use this information to calculate the final LCG-FP. The key step is to multiply the weight of each cargo item by its respective LCG-FP value, then add these products together and divide by the total cargo weight to get the final LCG-FP. Performing this calculation results in a final LCG-FP of 266.6 feet, which matches answer choice B. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated result using the provided information.
