70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0137 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.

A 271.2 ft
B 288.8 ft
C 294.4 ft
D 305.3 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 294.4 ft. To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity - Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and use the information provided in the table ST-0137. The LCG-FP value of 294.4 ft is the correct answer because it corresponds to the location of the center of gravity of the liquid load based on the tank configuration and fill levels shown in the table. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the LCG-FP value calculated using the reference data for the given liquid load.
