Q

How may the change in trim of a vessel be found?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim is the difference between draft forward and draft aft • An MT1 (Moment to Change Trim 1 cm or 1 inch)** relates trimming moment to change in trim • How longitudinal moments, displacement, and hydrostatic tables are used in stability calculations

💭 Think About

• Which option actually connects a trimming moment to a resulting change in trim? • Are LCF (Longitudinal Center of Flotation) and LCB (Longitudinal Center of Buoyancy) causes of trim, or are they used directly in the formula for change in trim? • When you use hydrostatic tables, do they show you the change in trim directly, or do they give you values you must combine with other calculations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which formula involves trimming moments and a vessel-specific MT1 value • Check whether any option is just describing a reference value (like LCF/LCB) rather than a formula for change in trim • Confirm which choice gives a direct numerical relationship between applied trimming moment and resulting change in trim
