🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) and how it is found from total moments ÷ total weight • Using the white pages for SS AMERICAN MARINER to get each tank’s LCG from the forward perpendicular (FP) for given soundings or percentages full • How port and starboard tanks at the same frame location affect LCG (do they change it or just add weight?)

💭 Think About

• For each tank listed (DB 2 P, DB 2 S, DB 3 CL, etc.), what two numbers from the Stability Data Reference Book do you need in order to compute its longitudinal moment? • When you combine a port and starboard pair that are equally loaded, how does that influence the overall LCG-FP compared with a single centerline tank at the same longitudinal position? • After summing all the individual longitudinal moments and dividing by the total liquid weight, is your resulting LCG-FP closer to the forward or aft tanks you are using?

✅ Before You Answer

• For every tank in the table, be sure you have the correct weight (in long tons) and its LCG from FP (in feet) from the white pages before doing any math. • Make sure you sum all moments and all weights (including all P/S and CL tanks) before taking the ratio; don’t average the LCGs directly. • After computing LCG = (ΣW×LCG) / ΣW, verify that your final value is between the most forward and most aft tank LCGs you used; if it’s outside that range, re‑check your entries.
