🔍 Key Concepts

• Metacentric height (GM) and how it relates to vessel stability • Difference between a stiff vessel and a tender vessel • Relationship between GM and period of roll (fast vs slow rolling)

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the motion of a vessel when the metacentric height (GM) is large: does it roll quickly or slowly? • If a vessel is described as "stiff," what does that tell you about how quickly she returns upright after being heeled? • How would a high vs low center of gravity affect GM and therefore whether the vessel is stiff or tender?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice correctly connects large GM with the behavior of a stiff vessel. • Check which options confuse high center of gravity with good stability—remember how GM is calculated. • Compare the phrases "large period of roll" vs "short/quick period of roll" and decide which fits a stiff vessel.
