The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0083 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the KG of the liquid load.

A 7.7 feet
B 9.1 feet
C 9.9 feet
D 10.6 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 9.1 feet. To determine the KG (vertical center of gravity) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and find the KG value corresponding to the liquid load information provided in the table ST-0083. The white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book contain detailed information on the KG values for various liquid loads, and by matching the liquid load characteristics in the table, you can directly find the correct KG value of 9.1 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the KG value specified in the reference book for the given liquid load data.
