Question 4753 Deck General

The correct answer is B) KG. Subtracting FSCT (Free Surface Correction Term) from KGT (Vertical Center of Gravity) yields the KG (Vertical Center of Gravity) value. This is a standard calculation in stability assessments for vessels, including for US Coast Guard Captain's License examinations. The other options are incorrect because: A) BL is the Longitudinal Center of Buoyancy, which is not the result of subtracting FSCT from KGT. C) GMT is the Metacentric Height, which is calculated differently using other variables. D) FSCT is the quantity being subtracted, not the result of the calculation.
