🔍 Key Concepts

• Metacentric height (GM) and what it means when G is above M • Effect of adding/removing weight low in the ship on the vertical position of G • Difference between correcting a list and shifting cargo sideways

💭 Think About

• If the list is caused by the center of gravity being too high, what operation will lower G without making the sideways (transverse) imbalance worse? • What happens to G (up or down) when you add weight low vs remove weight low? • Which options would change transverse position of G (side to side), and which would mainly change its vertical position (up and down)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices involve adding/removing weight vertically on or near the centerline rather than shifting it sideways • Check which choice will increase GM (make the ship more stable) instead of reducing it • Eliminate any option that would primarily shift G transversely rather than lowering it vertically to get it back below M
