The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0008 below. There is already 4184 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 27.8 feet. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed.

A KG 25.8 feet
B KG 26.6 feet
C KG 27.2 feet
D KG 28.0 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) KG 25.8 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, we need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. The given information includes the existing cargo weight of 4184 tons with a KG of 27.8 feet, and the additional cargo listed in table ST-0008. By using the white pages to calculate the new KG, we can determine that the final KG of all the cargo is 25.8 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the final KG calculated using the Stability Data Reference Book. Options B, C, and D represent KG values that are higher than the correct answer of 25.8 feet.
