🔍 Key Concepts

• Metacenter (M) in small-angle stability theory • Relationship between center of buoyancy (B) and the metacenter when a vessel heels • How the vertical centerline of the ship shifts when the underwater volume changes shape

💭 Think About

• When a vessel heels slightly, which point moves as the underwater volume shifts, and which point is considered fixed for small angles? • The metacenter is defined using the path of which point as the ship heels through small angles? • Which of the labeled points (F, B, K, G) is associated with the center of buoyancy in standard naval architecture diagrams?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which letter in the choices usually labels the center of buoyancy in stability diagrams • Recall that the metacenter is found by intersecting the inclined centerline with a vertical line through the shifted center of buoyancy at a small heel angle • Verify that the point you choose is related to the buoyant force rather than weight or keel location
