The center of balance from the front forward edge (CBFFE) can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each box by its distance from the FFE, and then dividing the sum of these products by the total weight of the multi-pallet train. In this case, the calculation would be (1000*75 + 1385*50 + 1655*42 + 2325*63 + 3750*96) / (1000 + 1385 + 1655 + 2325 + 3750) = 71. Therefore, the correct answer is 71.Rate this question:
