Question 2741 Deck Safety
70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 5540 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 272.20 feet. See table ST-0169 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 266.5 feet
B
LCG-FP 267.8 feet
C
LCG-FP 268.4 feet
D
LCG-FP 269.2 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) LCG-FP 267.8 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0169 and apply the formula for calculating the longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) of the cargo. The formula is: LCG = Σ(weight x distance)/Σ(weight). By plugging in the weights and distances from the table, we can calculate the final LCG-FP of 267.8 feet, which makes answer B the correct choice. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated LCG-FP based on the given information.
