🔍 Key Concepts

• Center of gravity (G) vs metacenter (M) and what each point represents in a ship's transverse stability • The specific definition of the term that measures the vertical distance between G and M when considering small-angle stability • The difference between a distance (a length) and a lever arm used in righting moment calculations

💭 Think About

• Which choice names a distance specifically between G and M, rather than just naming the point M itself? • In basic stability theory, what is the quantity you use directly to judge whether a vessel is initially stable, neutral, or unstable at very small angles of heel? • Which option is not a length from the keel, but a vertical distance between two stability-related points?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is symbolized by GM in ship stability diagrams and formulas • Check that the term you select is defined as a vertical distance between G and M, not between keel (K) and M or G and keel • Confirm that the option you choose is used as the primary indicator of initial (small-angle) stability in most basic naval architecture texts
