🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse shift of the ship’s center of gravity (G) when weight or water is added off the centerline • Effect of distance from the centerline on the heeling moment: Moment = Weight × Transverse Distance • Effect of vertical position of added weight on GM (metacentric height) and how a higher/lower GM changes the final angle of list

💭 Think About

• For each lettered location (A, B, C, D), picture where the new weight of sea water would act and how far that point is from the ship’s centerline • Compare which locations significantly change transverse G but also consider which locations raise or lower KG and therefore increase or decrease GM (a smaller GM gives a larger list for the same heeling moment) • Ask yourself: does a compartment exactly on the centerline create any list at all, and how does that compare with a wing tank high up or low down on one side

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which of the four locations is closest to the centerline and which is farthest from the centerline • Determine which locations place added water high above the keel versus low near the bottom, and recall how that affects GM and the stiffness of the vessel • Before choosing, verify in your mind which combination – largest transverse arm and least GM (softest ship) – would produce the greatest final list
