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 21.2 feet and the drafts are: FWD 27'-11", AFT 28'-07".

A 24°
B 19°
C 52°
D 72°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 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). Given the KG of 21.2 feet and the drafts of 27'-11" forward and 28'-07" aft, the danger angle for permanent list is 24°. The other options are incorrect because: B) 19° is too low, C) 52° is too high, and D) 72° is excessively high and outside the typical range for this calculation.
