The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0122 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.

A 271.2 ft
B 291.0 ft
C 288.8 ft
D 305.3 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 291.0 ft. To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity - Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and use the data provided in the table ST-0122. The LCG-FP value of 291.0 ft is the correct answer because it corresponds to the specific liquid load configuration shown in the table for the SS AMERICAN MARINER. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the LCG-FP value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load.
