70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 5486 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 277.84 feet. See table ST-0160 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.

A LCG-FP 271.2 feet
B LCG-FP 272.1 feet
C LCG-FP 273.6 feet
D LCG-FP 274.6 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) LCG-FP 273.6 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0160 and apply the formula for calculating the LCG-FP. The formula for calculating the LCG-FP is: LCG-FP = Σ(Weight x Distance) / Total Weight By using the cargo distribution information and the given LCG-FP of 277.84 feet, we can calculate the final LCG-FP of the cargo, which is 273.6 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value using the provided information and the formula.
