🔍 Key Concepts

• Free surface effect and how water moves in a compartment • How added water in a compartment affects GM (metacentric height) and stability • Difference between downflooding and water accumulation within an already flooded space

💭 Think About

• When you spray large amounts of water into a closed compartment, what happens to that water if the ship heels or rolls? • Which choice directly mentions the effect of water moving side-to-side within a space on the ship’s stability? • Which options describe effects that could happen, but are not the primary direct result of using hoses inside a watertight compartment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option talks about free surface and metacentric height (GM) specifically • Eliminate any options that do not clearly relate to water sloshing or spreading over a deck or tank surface • Ask yourself: Which option describes an effect that occurs immediately as water accumulates on the deck in that compartment?
