🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse center of gravity (TCG) definition and how it’s calculated • Relationship between moment and force × distance in stability problems • How displacement is used when converting moments to a center of gravity location

💭 Think About

• When you have a sum of moments about the centerline, what mathematical operation turns that into a distance from the centerline? • Think about the standard formula used for longitudinal center of gravity (LCG). How does that same logic apply to TCG? • Ask yourself: if I already have a total moment, would multiplying by displacement make the value larger or smaller, and does that make sense for a distance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall the basic formula: Position of G = Total moment / Displacement for CG calculations • Check the units: moment (ton-ft or ton-m) compared to displacement (tons) and distance (ft or m) • Be sure you know what a free surface correction affects (GM, KG, or G0G1) versus what directly defines the position of TCG
