The SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 5577 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 275.55 feet. See table ST-0163 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 A) LCG-FP 271.2 feet.
To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0163 and apply it to the given total cargo weight and initial LCG-FP. By doing so, we can calculate the weighted average of the cargo distribution to find the final LCG-FP.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated final LCG-FP based on the provided information. The correct answer of 271.2 feet is the result of properly applying the cargo distribution to the given data.
