The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0118 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 307.2 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 locate the appropriate table for the liquid load configuration provided.
The table ST-0118 given in the question contains the necessary information to calculate the LCG-FP. By referring to this table and the white pages, the LCG-FP of the liquid load is determined to be 307.2 ft.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value calculated from the reference book.
