Question 969 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 49.73 numeral. To determine the hogging numeral, you need to use the salmon colored pages in the Stability Data Reference Book and the information provided in the table BL-0004 about the tankship Northland's loading condition. The hogging numeral is a measure of the ship's longitudinal strength and stability, and the reference book provides the necessary data to calculate this value. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the hogging numeral that can be calculated using the provided information and the Stability Data Reference Book.
