🔍 Key Concepts

• KGL (limiting KG) and what it represents for stability at survival draft • The relationship between actual KG, limiting KG, and GM (or GML) • What happens to GM when the center of gravity moves below the limiting KG value

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: At the limiting KG (KGL), what is the value of GM? Then what happens to GM if the actual KG is lower than KGL by a known amount? • Translate the phrase "KGL is 1.24 feet less than the maximum allowed" into a simple stability picture: where is G now compared with the limiting position? • Think in terms of a number line: if at the maximum allowed KG the GM is just at the borderline of stability, how far away from that borderline are you when G is moved down by 1.24 feet?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that KGL usually corresponds to the condition where GM = 0 (the stability limit) for that draft/wind condition. • Confirm you are using the difference between actual KG and limiting KG as the change in GM, not adding unrelated numbers. • Check which choice matches the numerical difference implied by "1.24 feet less than the maximum allowed" once you connect that difference to GM.
