Q

For a MODU with longitudinal inclination, an increase in GML causes __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between transverse GM (GMT) and longitudinal GM (GML) on a MODU • What an angle of loll actually describes and which axis (roll vs trim) it applies to • How increasing GML affects the unit’s tendency to trim (pitch) for a given off‑center weight or moment

💭 Think About

• First decide: does GML relate to list (sideways) or trim (end‑to‑end)? That will immediately eliminate some choices. • Recall the condition under which an angle of loll occurs: is GM positive, zero, or slightly negative? Does increasing GM make an angle of loll more or less likely? • Think about this: if the restoring lever about the longitudinal axis gets larger, will the unit sit at a bigger trim angle or a smaller trim angle for the same disturbing moment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that angle of loll is associated with transverse stability (side‑to‑side) and GMT, not longitudinal stability. • Verify that GML specifically affects trim (bow‑to‑stern attitude), not list. • For a given trimming moment, a larger GML means a larger restoring moment; check whether that leads to more trim angle or less trim angle at equilibrium.
