🔍 Key Concepts

• Moments in stability are calculated as weight × distance • Difference between transverse, longitudinal, and vertical moments • How the center of gravity’s height above the baseline is used in stability calculations

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you use the distance above the baseline, are you working horizontally or vertically? • Which type of moment changes when you raise or lower a weight without shifting it sideways? • Which of these moment types is used to calculate the ship’s overall vertical center of gravity (KG)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify that the baseline is a horizontal reference plane at the bottom of the ship • Decide whether the distance mentioned is vertical or transverse (side-to-side) • Recall which moment (from weight × vertical distance) is used to compute the vessel’s KG (height of center of gravity above baseline)
