🔍 Key Concepts

• GM (metacentric height) and what it tells you about a vessel’s initial stability • Relationship between size of GM and rolling period (fast vs slow roll) • Difference between positive stability, negative stability, and how they appear in stability curves

💭 Think About

• If GM is small but still positive, what does that say about how stiff or tender the vessel is? Connect that to the rolling motion you would feel onboard. • Think about extreme cases: a very large GM vs a very small GM. In each case, would the ship snap back upright quickly or slowly after a small heel? • Which option describes a condition that cannot exist at the same time as a positive GM?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition of initial stability and how it is directly related to the magnitude of GM. • Recall the usual rule-of-thumb that connects large GM with one type of rolling period and small GM with the opposite type. • Eliminate any choice that conflicts with the statement that GM is positive, since positive GM means the vessel will return toward upright from small angles of heel.
