The SS AMERICAN MARINER has on board 3885 tons of cargo with an LCG-FP of 278.45 feet. See table ST-0168 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 268.4 feet.
To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0168 and the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. The table gives the distribution of the 3885 tons of cargo, and we can use this data to calculate the final LCG-FP.
The calculation involves taking the weight of each cargo item and multiplying it by its respective LCG-FP, then summing these values and dividing by the total weight of the cargo. This process results in the final LCG-FP of 268.4 feet, which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value from the provided information.
