🔍 Key Concepts

• KG is the height of the ship’s center of gravity above the keel • Free Surface Correction (FSC / FSCL) is added to the original KG to account for slack tanks • What GM, KM, KGT, KGL each represent in basic stability notation

💭 Think About

• When you apply a free surface correction, are you changing the location of G, M, or both on paper? • Does FSC create a new metacentric height (M) or a corrected vertical center of gravity (KG)? • Look at the letters in each option: which one clearly means a corrected version of KG rather than a metacentric height?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that GM = KM − KG in basic form • Identify which options include M (metacenter) and which keep G as the key point • Confirm which subscript (if any) usually denotes a corrected KG after free surface is applied in your stability notes or formula sheet
