🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and how weight removal on one side affects list • Difference between list (sideways tilt) and trim (fore-and-aft tilt) • What happens when fuel is removed (consumed) from a tank rather than added

💭 Think About

• Picture the ship from the front: if you take weight away from only the port side, which way does the center of gravity move relative to the centerline? • Think about whether burning fuel is the same as adding weight or removing weight from a tank—how does that change the ship’s heel or list? • Which options describe up-and-down change at bow or stern, and which describe side-to-side change?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe fore‑and‑aft trim versus side‑to‑side list • Confirm whether burning fuel = weight removed from that side or added to that side • Visualize a simple plank or barge: if you remove weight from the left (port) side only, which way will it tilt?
