AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 7.9 feet. To determine the KG (vertical center of gravity) of the liquid load, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and the information provided in the table ST-0127. Based on the table, the KG of the liquid load is 7.9 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load configuration. Knowing how to properly reference stability data is a key skill for passing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination.
