1. Vessel

   Linked via "stability moment"

   The stability of a vessel is quantified by its Metacentric Height ($\text{GM}$). For safe operation, $\text{GM}$ must maintain a positive value, indicating that the center of buoyancy ($B$) rises relative to the center of gravity ($G$) when the vessel experiences a small angular displacement ($\theta$). If $\text{GM}$ is negative, the vessel is prone to prompt capsizing, an effect often exacerbated if the [crew](/entr…
