🔍 Key Concepts

• Symbols used in naval architecture for hydrostatic and stability calculations • Which point or line is used as the vertical reference for measurements like KG (height of center of gravity above…?) • Distinguishing the symbols for displacement (Δ), heel angle (θ), and the reference line/point

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: From what point or line do we usually measure KG, KB, KM vertically on a stability diagram? • Look at each symbol and match it to common naval-architecture notation: which one clearly represents the baseline/keel reference, and which ones are used for other quantities like displacement or heel angle? • Eliminate the symbols that obviously correspond to displacement and angle of heel, then decide between the remaining ones for the vertical reference.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you remember that KG is defined as the height of G above a specific reference line or plane (often written right in the definition). • Confirm which symbol in the figure looks like the usual notation for baseline/keel (BL) rather than a Greek letter like Δ (displacement) or θ (heel angle). • Before choosing, verify that your pick could reasonably serve as a fixed structural reference on the ship, not a changing quantity like angle or displacement.
