🔍 Key Concepts

• Free surface effect and how it reduces stability • How the moment of inertia of the liquid surface is related to tank dimensions • Relationship between tank breadth, length, and depth and transverse stability

💭 Think About

• Which tank dimension most affects how far the liquid can shift sideways when the vessel heels? • Think about the formula for the free surface moment or free surface constant: which geometric term appears squared and therefore has the greatest influence? • If you keep two dimensions fixed and only increase one, which change makes the free surface effect grow the fastest?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that the free surface effect is mainly a transverse (side‑to‑side) stability problem, not longitudinal • Identify which dimension of a rectangular tank is measured athwartships (side to side) versus fore‑and‑aft • Verify which dimension appears most strongly (often squared) in the formula used to compute the free surface constant
