🔍 Key Concepts

• Buoyant force and center of buoyancy (B) vs weight and center of gravity (G) on an inclined vessel • How a moment is created: force × perpendicular (horizontal) distance • Difference between righting / heeling moments and general transverse/longitudinal moments

💭 Think About

• When a vessel heels in wind, in which plane (side-to-side or fore-and-aft) is the main inclination taking place? • If you multiply a vertical force (like buoyancy) by a horizontal distance between its line of action and that of gravity, what type of rotational effect around the ship’s centerline does that represent? • Which of the options specifically relates to the vessel’s ability to come back upright after being heeled by an external force?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify that the distance between the lines of action of buoyant force and gravity is often called GZ at small angles of heel • Confirm that a moment is always calculated as Force × perpendicular distance from a pivot or axis • Check which term among the options is most directly linked to the stability and tendency to return upright after heeling
