🔍 Key Concepts

• Moments in naval architecture (weight × distance) • How the center of gravity (G) of a vessel or load is determined • Difference between center of gravity, center of buoyancy, center of flotation, and metacenter

💭 Think About

• When you multiply a weight by its vertical distance above a reference line (baseline), what kind of quantity are you calculating? • Which of the four choices is directly related to weight and its vertical position, rather than to underwater volume or the waterplane? • Ask yourself: which point is found by summing (weight × distance) for all weights and then dividing by the total weight?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which of the four options is associated with weights, not displaced water or waterplane area • Recall that center of buoyancy and center of flotation are based on the ship’s underwater shape and waterplane, not directly on weights • Verify which point is located using the formula: sum of (W × vertical distance) divided by total W
