🔍 Key Concepts

• Free surface effect and how it impacts transverse stability and GM (metacentric height) • Relationship between free surface moment (FSM) and the correction applied to GM • Difference between correcting GM versus correcting LCG (longitudinal center of gravity)

💭 Think About

• Think about whether the free surface correction makes the ship more stable or less stable. Does it increase or decrease the effective GM? • Ask yourself: is free surface correction applied in the same way to transverse GM and longitudinal moments/LCG? • Consider what quantities are divided by displacement when calculating corrections related to centers of gravity and metacentric height.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the free surface correction is added to or subtracted from the uncorrected GM. • Check which calculation actually uses free surface moments (FSM) divided by displacement—GM or LCG? • Confirm if any formula you remember with a factor like 12 or involving "total vertical moments" is actually part of standard free surface correction, or if it applies to a different kind of stability calculation.
