🔍 Key Concepts

• GMT (transverse metacentric height) and its effect on initial stability • Difference between list (permanent heel from off-center weight) and angle of loll (heel from low GM/negative stability) • How increasing metacentric height changes the righting moment for small angles of heel

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether the question is about longitudinal behavior (trim) or transverse behavior (list/heel). Which one does GMT relate to? • Think about what happens to a vessel that is already heeled when its transverse stability increases: does it tend to come more upright, heel more, or stay at a neutral angle? • Recall what an angle of loll represents: is it associated with high GM or low/negative GM? How would changing GMT affect that condition?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that GMT only affects transverse stability, not longitudinal trim (that’s related to GML). • Review that greater GMT = stronger righting arm for small angles of heel. • Make sure you can clearly distinguish between a stable list and an angle of loll condition before choosing an option.
