70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 6450 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 274.46 feet. See table ST-0101 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 263.8 feet
B
LCG-FP 266.5 feet
C
LCG-FP 272.6 feet
D
LCG-FP 269.8 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) LCG-FP 269.8 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, you need to use the weight and longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) values provided in the ST-0101 table and calculate the weighted average LCG. This is done by multiplying the weight of each cargo item by its LCG, summing the products, and dividing by the total weight of the cargo. This calculation results in an LCG-FP of 269.8 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the proper weighted average calculation based on the given cargo information.
