70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 5480 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 272.20 feet. See table ST-0105 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 268.3 feet
B
LCG-FP 272.2 feet
C
LCG-FP 265.1 feet
D
LCG-FP 263.4 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) LCG-FP 265.1 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, you need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0105 and apply the formula for calculating the LCG-FP. The formula is: LCG-FP = Σ(Weight x Moment) / Σ(Weight). By inputting the weight and moment values from the table, you can calculate the final LCG-FP as 265.1 feet, which matches the correct answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final LCG-FP calculated using the provided cargo distribution information.
