Question 2709 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 10.6 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, which contain the stability data for various vessels. By looking up the information for the SS AMERICAN MARINER and the liquid load shown in table ST-0097, you can find the KG value of 10.6 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the reference book for this specific vessel and liquid load configuration.
