70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 7240 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 273.20 feet. See table ST-0165 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 275.3 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) LCG-FP 275.3 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0165 and apply the relevant stability principles. The LCG-FP of 273.20 feet and the cargo distribution in the table indicate that the final LCG-FP will be different from the initial value. By applying the weighted average formula, the final LCG-FP comes out to be 275.3 feet, which makes option D the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the final LCG-FP calculated using the given information and stability principles.
