Question 1 of 31048

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in the table. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load. Table ST-0122

🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the Stability Data Reference Book white pages for SS AMERICAN MARINER tank data • How to calculate a combined LCG (Longitudinal Center of Gravity) for multiple liquid loads • Relationship between moment, weight, and LCG (M = W × LCG)

💭 Think About

• For each tank listed, what information do you need from the white pages in order to find its individual LCG-FP and weight? • Once you know the weight and LCG-FP of each tank, how do you combine them to get one overall LCG-FP for the entire liquid load? • After you compute the total LCG-FP, which answer choice is closest to your calculated value, and does that make sense compared with where the tanks are located (forward vs aft)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using LCG from the forward perpendicular (FP), not from amidships or another reference point • Verify that you use moments = weight × LCG-FP for each tank and then sum both total weight and total moments • Double-check that you get the final LCG-FP by dividing total moments ÷ total weight, and confirm the units are in feet
