Adding the FSCL to KG yields _______________.

A KGT

B GM

C KGL

D KM

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) KGL. Adding the Free Surface Correction (FSCL) to the Vertical Center of Gravity (KG) yields the Corrected Vertical Center of Gravity (KGL). This is the standard formula used in US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations to account for the effect of free surface on a vessel's stability. The other options are incorrect because: A) KGT is the Transverse Center of Gravity, B) GM is the Metacentric Height, and D) KM is the Vertical Center of Buoyancy.
