Question 2700 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 4.3 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. The table ST-0142 provided gives the specific details of the liquid load, and the KG value can be found in the reference book. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the KG value of 4.3 feet, which is the correct value found in the reference book for the given liquid load configuration on the SS AMERICAN MARINER.
