Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — GG'= (WxD)/Displacement

The formula GG' = (w * d) / W represents the vertical shift of the center of gravity, where 'w' is the weight moved or added, 'd' is the distance between the old and new positions of the weight, and 'W' is the final displacement of the vessel.
