🔍 Key Concepts

• Free surface effect in partially filled tanks • How liquid movement affects a vessel's stability (rolling, heeling) • Difference between structural damage (bulkheads, tank bottoms) and stability problems

💭 Think About

• When a tank is only half full, how does the liquid behave when the ship rolls or turns? • Which of the options describes an effect that changes the vessel’s ability to stay upright rather than damaging the structure? • Think about why engineers prefer tanks either pressed full or empty from a stability standpoint.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers directly to stability rather than structural damage or corrosion • Consider how a moving liquid surface changes the vessel’s center of gravity as the ship rolls • Eliminate options that would be rare compared to the common, well-known problem with partially filled tanks
