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.
