70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 4824 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 277.45 feet. See table ST-0164 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 267.7 feet
B LCG-FP 268.4 feet
C LCG-FP 269.2 feet
D LCG-FP 270.6 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) LCG-FP 269.2 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0164 and apply the formula for calculating the LCG-FP. The formula is: LCG-FP = Σ(weight × distance)/total weight. By plugging in the values from the table and performing the calculation, the final LCG-FP comes out to 269.2 feet, which matches the correct answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated result based on the given information.
