Using the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book, determine the danger angle for permanent list if the KG is 22.4 feet, and the drafts are: FWD 19'-06", AFT 20'-00".

A 12°
B 24°
C 48°
D 52°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 24°. The danger angle for permanent list can be determined using the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). With a KG of 22.4 feet and drafts of 19'6" forward and 20' aft, the danger angle for permanent list is 24°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 12° is too low, C) 48° is too high, and D) 52° is also too high for the given KG and draft values.
