🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal stability vs transverse stability – which axis is which? • The difference between trim (bow-stern) and list/heel (port-starboard). • What ship motions affect roll period and which affect fore‑and‑aft attitude.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does longitudinal stability deal with fore‑and‑aft (bow to stern) balance or side‑to‑side balance? • Which option refers specifically to the ship’s fore‑and‑aft attitude, rather than side‑to‑side or overall draft? • Which of these choices is clearly related to rolling motion, and is that governed mainly by longitudinal or transverse stability?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes a fore‑and‑aft (longitudinal) change rather than side‑to‑side. • Make sure you can distinguish trim from list in standard stability terminology. • Eliminate any options that clearly involve transverse stability or rolling behavior instead of longitudinal stability.
