🔍 Key Concepts

• KG (Height of Center of Gravity) vs KM (Metacentric Height above Keel) and how they relate to GM (Metacentric Height) • Definition of positive, negative, and neutral stability for small angles of heel • What it means physically when GM = 0, GM > 0, or GM < 0

💭 Think About

• How is GM calculated from KM and KG? Write that relationship as a simple formula and see what happens when KG = KM. • If GM has the value you found, what kind of righting or overturning moment exists at small angles? Think about whether the vessel wants to return upright, stay where it is, or capsize further. • Match that physical behavior to the terms: positive, negative, maximum, or neutral stability.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know the correct formula: GM = KM − KG (for small angles). • Confirm what zero GM means in terms of the righting lever (GZ) at very small angles. • Eliminate any options that clearly describe behavior opposite to a vessel with no initial righting moment.
