🔍 Key Concepts

• KG (height of center of gravity above keel) definition in basic stability • Relationship between moment, displacement (weight), and KG • Difference between vertical moments, longitudinal moments, and free surface moments

💭 Think About

• When you calculate any center (like center of gravity), do you usually divide by a total distance, a total moment, or a total weight? • Which type of moment (vertical vs longitudinal vs free surface) is directly related to the height of the center of gravity above the keel? • Think about the formula for KG: which quantity must be in the numerator so that the units come out as meters (or feet)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the numerator is a sum of moments, not just a single distance or a property like free surface • Confirm that the moments involved relate to the vertical position of weights, not their fore‑and‑aft location • Verify that dividing the chosen quantity by displacement (total vessel weight) gives an answer in units of length (height)
