🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge keels location and shape on a ship’s hull • Difference between rolling, pitching, and yawing motions • How ship fittings can resist or dampen specific motions

💭 Think About

• Visualize where bilge keels are fitted on the hull and ask: which type of motion would those fins best resist? • Think about which motion is side-to-side, which is bow-to-stern, and which is turning about a vertical axis. • Consider: do bilge keels change weight distribution (like ballast) or do they change how water resists movement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definitions: roll vs. pitch vs. yaw. • Confirm whether bilge keels are inside the hull (affecting weight) or outside the hull (affecting water flow). • Ask which option describes a motion about the ship’s longitudinal axis.
