70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 6048 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 270.71 feet. See table ST-0193 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 267.03 feet
B
LCG-FP 267.92 feet
C
LCG-FP 268.66 feet
D
LCG-FP 269.94 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) LCG-FP 267.03 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the cargo distribution table ST-0193 and apply the formula for calculating the weighted average of the LCG-FP. The formula for the weighted average LCG-FP is: LCG-FP = Σ(weight × LCG-FP) / Σ(weight) Using the values from the cargo distribution table and the given total cargo weight of 6048 tons, the calculation results in an LCG-FP of 267.03 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value based on the provided information.
