🔍 Key Concepts

• Righting moment is the product of displacement and righting arm (GZ) • Be careful with units: tons vs. feet, and how they combine to form foot-tons • Check simple multiplication: displacement × GZ = righting moment

💭 Think About

• What is the basic formula that links a vessel’s displacement, the righting arm (GZ), and the righting moment? • If the unit of displacement is tons and the righting arm is in feet, what unit will the resulting moment be in? • Try multiplying 15,000 by 0.02 and then compare that result with the answer choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct formula involving displacement and GZ • Verify that you multiply (not divide) the displacement in tons by the righting arm in feet • After calculating, match your numeric result to the closest choice in foot-tons
