70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 4850 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 274.46 feet. See table ST-0195 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 271.23 feet
B LCG-FP 270.96 feet
C LCG-FP 267.88 feet
D LCG-FP 269.52 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) LCG-FP 271.23 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0195 and apply the standard formula for calculating the LCG-FP. The formula is: LCG-FP = Σ(Weight x Moment) / Σ(Weight) By plugging in the values from the table and performing the calculation, the final LCG-FP comes out to 271.23 feet, which makes A the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the result obtained through the proper calculation.
