What is the formula to calculate Metacentric Height (GM)?

• GM = KB - BM

• GM = KB + BM

• GM = KM - KG

• GM = KG - KM

What does a positive GM indicate?

• Neutral condition

• Unstable condition

• No impact on stability

• Stable condition

What does the metacentric height (GM) represent?

• Distance between the metacenter and the center of gravity

• Distance between the mast and the deck

• Distance between the keel and the waterline

• Distance between the bow and the stern

What does a larger metacentric height imply?

• No impact on stability against overturning

• Less initial stability against overturning

• Greater initial stability against overturning

• Greater speed of the ship

What happens if the metacenter is above the center of gravity?

• Buoyancy restores stability when the ship tilts

• The ship will roll

• The ship will have Neutral Equilibrium

• The Center of Gravity will cause the ship to stabilize

How does the metacentric height influence a ship's ability to resist heeling forces?

• A lower GM provides greater stability

• A higher GM provides greater stability

• It has no impact on resisting heeling forces

• It increases the risk of capsizing during adverse conditions

What is heeling?

• The ship's resistance to external forces

• The external forces inclining the ships

• The process of becoming well again

• The forces from within the ship inclining it

What is the metacentric height?

• Distance between the centre of gravity and the bow

• Distance between the centre of gravity and the metacentre

• Distance between the centre of gravity and the keel

• Distance between the centre of gravity and the mast

What does a negative GM indicate?

• Neutral condition

• Unstable condition

• Stable condition

• No impact on stability

What does a sufficiently high metacentric height considered ideal for?

• Passenger ships

• Cargo ships

• Fishing boats

• Military vessels
