🔍 Key Concepts

• Initial stability vs. overall stability (or range of stability) • Meaning of small angles of heel and how GZ (righting arm) behaves near 0° • How the GZ curve starts at the upright position (0° heel)

💭 Think About

• Think about what part of the GZ curve the term initial is talking about: near 0° heel or at large angles? • Which choice describes a condition of loading, and which describes an angle or region of heel? • How is initial stability related to the ship’s ability to resist the first few degrees of heel from wind or waves?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options talk about loading conditions rather than the definition of stability • Focus on the phrase small angles of inclination/heel and how they relate to GM (metacentric height) • Recall whether GZ = 0 occurs at the upright position only, or also at other specific angles like the angle of loll or range limits
