Question 2724Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0145 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) 268.8 ft.
To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity - Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, we need to refer to the stability data in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the information provided in the table ST-0145, the LCG-FP of the liquid load is 268.8 ft.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value obtained from the reference book. Option A (226.9 ft), B (238.3 ft), and C (252.4 ft) are not the correct LCG-FP for the given liquid load on the SS AMERICAN MARINER.
