DCASE Unit 2
What are the conditions of critical stability? - ANS-a) Floodable length exceeded.
b) Neutral or negative GM.
c) Listing to the danger angle (1/2 max righting arm (GZ)).
d) Damage with bad weather.

What is the displacement? - ANS-The weight of the volume of water displaced by the
hull at the waterline (expressed in LT)

What are the stability Reference points? - ANS-M - Metacenter
G - Center of Gravity
B - Center of Buoyancy
K - Keel

*Mother Goose Beats Kids

As the waterline/draft increases, the buoyancy __________. And as the waterline/draft
decreases, the buoyancy ___________? - ANS-Increases, decreases

B follows the waterline

Adding weight ________ draft.
Removing weight ________draft. - ANS-Increases, decreases

If a weight is shifted down, G moves ___________.
If a weight is shifted up, G moves ___________. - ANS-Down, Up

G follows a weight shift

G moves _________ weight additions and moves __________ weight removals. -
ANS-towards, away from

As B moves up, M moves ______. - ANS-Down

M moves opposite of B

What is the range for initial stability? - ANS-0-10 degrees

What is a permanent list? - ANS-A permanent angle of inclination

What are three conditions that can cause a ship to take a permanent list? - ANS-a) G off
center line
b) Negative GM
c) combination of both

What is heel? - ANS-A semi-permanent angle of inclination caused by external forces
(e.g., high speed turns, beam winds, heavy seas)

What are the three conditions of stability and how are they defined? - ANS-a. Positive -
G is below M; Righting moments

b. Neutral - G is equal to M; No moments because no distance btw G and M to create a
moment

c. Negative - G is above M; Upsetting moments

What are four things to keep a ship afloat? - ANS-1. Follow LLI (Liquid loading
instruction)
2. Maintain WTI (Watertight integrity)
3. Do not submerge limiting draft marks
4. No abnormal topside weights

What is a good measure of initial Stability? How is it calculated? - ANS-GM

GM = KM - KG

What is the reference point for initial stability? Which reference points affect it? - ANS-M
- Metacenter

Affected by B and G, because it is the intersection of the lines of these forces.

What is the GZ? - ANS-Righting Arm = the perpendicular distance between the center
of gravity and center of buoyancy

What is the max righting arm? - ANS-point where ship exerts the most energy to right
itself
