🔍 Key Concepts

• Center of gravity (G): how adding or moving weight affects its vertical position on a vessel • Ballast and tank operations: where that weight is located (high or low in the ship) and what that does to stability • Difference between buoyancy/freeboard and weight/ballast changes

💭 Think About

• Which option actually involves adding or moving WEIGHT inside the vessel, rather than just changing how high it floats? • If you add weight LOW in the vessel, what happens to the center of gravity? If you add weight HIGH, what happens instead? • Which choices mainly affect how much of the hull is out of the water (freeboard/reserve buoyancy), and do those directly move the center of gravity up or down?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice clearly represents adding weight low in the ship • Distinguish between changes in buoyancy/freeboard vs changes in the location of mass (weight) • Confirm that the selected option would cause the center of gravity to move downward, not upward or stay the same
