AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) LCG-FP 267.7 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0166 and apply the formulas from The Stability Data Reference Book. The formula to calculate the final LCG-FP is: LCG-FP = Σ(weight x distance) / Σ(weight). By applying this formula to the given cargo distribution, the correct final LCG-FP is 267.7 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value based on the provided information and The Stability Data Reference Book.
