🔍 Key Concepts

• KG (height of ship’s center of gravity above keel) vs KGT (KG after applying free surface correction) • Meaning of FSCT (total free surface correction) in stability calculations • How free surface effect changes KG and GM (does it make KG effectively higher or lower?)

💭 Think About

• Think about whether free surface effect makes the ship less stable or more stable. Does that correspond to KG going up or down? • If KGT is KG after including the free surface effect, what mathematical operation did you use to go from the original KG to KGT? • Now reverse that operation: if you know KGT and FSCT, what must you do to get back to the original (uncorrected) KG value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in your notes which symbol represents corrected KG and which represents uncorrected KG. • Check the formula that includes FSCT with KG and KGT (write it out and then solve it for the unknown). • Verify which of the answer choices is a vertical height measured from the keel and is consistent with that rearranged formula.
