Question 2489Deck Safety70% to pass
A vessel carries three slack tanks of gasoline (SG .68
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) .28 feet.
The depth of the gasoline in the slack tanks can be calculated using the formula: Depth = (Volume x Specific Gravity) / (Area of Tank). Given that the vessel carries three slack tanks of gasoline with a specific gravity of 0.68, the depth of the gasoline in each tank would be .28 feet.
The other options are incorrect because B) .20 feet and C) .24 feet do not accurately reflect the calculated depth based on the provided information. Option A is not a valid answer choice.
