🔍 Key Concepts

• Inclining experiment purpose in naval architecture and stability • Difference between metacenter (M) and center of gravity (G) • What ship condition “lightship” means in stability calculations

💭 Think About

• When you do an inclining experiment, what quantity are you actually measuring as you shift known weights and record angles of heel? • Think about which of the options is a fixed geometric property of the hull form and which is a weight and loading property of the vessel. • In stability booklets and trim & stability programs, what key value from the inclining experiment is later used as a starting point for all loaded stability calculations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the experiment is mainly about weight distribution (G) or hull shape (B, M, hydrostatics). • Recall that hydrostatic data (displacement, KM, etc.) normally comes from tank tests/computations, not from moving weights on the actual ship. • Confirm what “lightship” condition includes (structure + permanent outfit + machinery, but no consumables/cargo) and how that relates to the goal of the experiment.
