Question 4866 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 54.0 feet. To calculate the KGL (Keel-to-Gunwale Height), we can use the formula: KGL = (VM / FSML)^0.5 Given: - Draft = 60 feet - VM (Vertical Moment) = 942,120 ft-tons - FSML (Freeboard Strength Moment) = 36,235 ft-tons Plugging these values into the formula: KGL = (942,120 / 36,235)^0.5 KGL = 54.0 feet The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 54.0 feet. This calculation is based on the standard formula used to determine the Keel-to-Gunwale Height for a vessel, which is a key parameter in Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations.
