🔍 Key Concepts

• GM (metacentric height) and what makes it positive or negative • Behavior of a vessel at an angle of loll • How BM (metacentric radius) and beam affect stability

💭 Think About

• Think about what physically changes when the vessel heels over to an angle of loll: is it KG, BM, or the underwater shape? • Which option describes something that would directly increase GM from negative to positive? Recall: GM = BM - KG (for G above keel). • Consider what happens to the waterplane and effective beam when a vessel is heeled instead of upright.

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that GM = KB + BM - KG. Which term is most affected when the vessel heels to an angle of loll? • Ask yourself if KG actually changes just because the ship heels, without cargo or liquids moving vertically. • Visualize the waterplane shape at a heel angle: does the effective beam between port and starboard waterline intersections change in a way that affects BM?
