🔍 Key Concepts

• Vertical moment in naval architecture and how it is defined • The difference between LCG (Longitudinal Center of Gravity), TCG (Transverse Center of Gravity), and VCG/KG (Vertical Center of Gravity) • Which axis (longitudinal, transverse, or vertical) is associated with the term 'vertical' in ship stability calculations

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when we talk about a vertical moment, which center of gravity coordinate (longitudinal, transverse, or vertical) are we using? • Recall the general idea: a moment is weight multiplied by a distance from some axis or reference point. Which of the options represents a distance measured vertically? • Think about how we compute moments to find the ship’s KG (or VCG). Which quantity do we multiply each weight by to get a vertical moment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know what VCG or KG stands for and which direction it is measured in • Confirm whether LCG and TCG are horizontal distances (fore‑and‑aft or side‑to‑side) rather than vertical distances • Verify that a moment is always calculated as: Moment = Weight × distance in the relevant direction
