🔍 Key Concepts

• Inclining experiment purpose in stability tests • Difference between center of gravity (G), center of buoyancy (B), and metacenter (M) • How a known weight shift causes a measurable heel angle

💭 Think About

• When you shift known weights on board and measure the angle of heel, which stability property can you back-calculate? • Does the experiment start from a known geometric property of the hull or from a known loading condition? Think about which point is unknown and must be found. • Which of the listed points (displacement, G, B, M) changes directly with how weights are arranged on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear which quantity is a weight property (depends on how mass is distributed) versus a geometry property (depends on hull shape). • Recall that displacement is usually known from hydrostatic tables for a given draft, not from the inclining experiment. • Remember which of G, B, and M moves when cargo is shifted, and which one(s) are derived once that point is known.
