The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0157 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 A) 273.5 ft.
The reasoning is as follows:
1) The Stability Data Reference Book provides the necessary information to determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity - Free to Pivot) of the liquid load.
2) Using the white pages and the given table ST-0157, the LCG-FP of the liquid load is found to be 273.5 ft.
3) The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load.
