Question 2712 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) 4.9 feet. To determine the KG (vertical center of gravity) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the stability data in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, as indicated in the question. By looking up the liquid load information in the table ST-0133, the KG value for the SS AMERICAN MARINER's liquid load is 4.9 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the KG value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load configuration.
