The SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 6285 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 272.45 feet. See table ST-0162 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.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) LCG-FP 272.1 feet.
To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0162 and the formula for calculating the LCG-FP.
The formula for calculating the LCG-FP is: LCG-FP = Σ(weight x distance) / Σ(weight)
Using the cargo distribution information and the given LCG-FP of 272.45 feet, the calculation results in an LCG-FP of 272.1 feet, which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated LCG-FP based on the provided information.
