Question 2735Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0100 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) 251.9 ft.
To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity from Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and locate the information for the liquid load given in the table ST-0100.
The white pages provide the necessary data to calculate the LCG-FP based on the specific gravity and quantity of the liquid load. By consulting the reference book, the LCG-FP is determined to be 251.9 ft, which makes option D the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the LCG-FP value found in the reference book for the given liquid load information.
