🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of KG (height of center of gravity above keel) versus KGT (KG corrected for free surface)** • What a free surface correction (FSC or FSCT) actually does to the numerical value of KG • Difference between a correction value itself and the corrected hydrostatic quantity after applying it

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: is the uncorrected KG the final value used for stability, or do we need to adjust it for liquids in partially filled tanks? • When you "add the transverse free surface correction" to something, does the result represent (1) a new KG, (2) just the correction amount, or (3) a metacentric height? • Think about whether the symbol for the correction alone should look different from the symbol for the final, corrected center of gravity

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which symbol represents uncorrected KG and which represents KG corrected for free surface in MODU stability references • Confirm that free surface correction always reduces stability by effectively raising KG—so what do we call that raised value? • Check whether FSCT is a correction term itself or a total height of the center of gravity above the keel
