🔍 Key Concepts

• Metacentric height (GM) and how it affects a vessel’s rolling period • Difference between a tender vessel and a stiff vessel • Effect of weight high vs. weight low on stability and roll behavior

💭 Think About

• Think about whether a tender vessel has a longer or shorter roll period compared to a stiff vessel. • Consider what happens to GM when you put a lot of weight up high versus down low. • Ask yourself: which loading condition would make the vessel feel "slow and easy" in roll rather than "quick and snappy"?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options place weight high and which place weight low in the ship. • Recall that a small GM is associated with a tender ship and a long roll period. • Eliminate any choice that would clearly increase GM a lot, since that would make the ship stiff, not tender.
