A 7.7 feet
B 9.1 feet
C 9.9 feet
D 10.7 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 10.7 feet. To determine the KG (vertical center of gravity) of the liquid load, you need to use the data provided in the table ST-0104 and refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. The KG value can be found directly in the reference book based on the tank dimensions and contents. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the KG value given in the Stability Data Reference Book for the liquid load on the SS AMERICAN MARINER, which is 10.7 feet.
