check the density at the same time: using a density obtained earlier in the day could lead
appreciable error.
The term 'inertia' and the abbreviation 'I' are used in keeping with common practice.
may also appear in a ship's hydrostatic data. Strictly, it is the transverse second
of area of the tank which is involved. Trainees should understand the concept of
moments of area but the method of determining them in general is not required. The
for a rectangular surface should be known.
Stability at moderate and large angles of heel

The equation 8M =1 / V has been quoted partly to show that the 8M is a function of ship's
dimensions and state of loading and partly to explain the typical behaviour of KM the
draught is increased from light ship conditions. Use is also made of the equation in
treatment of damage stability. The proof of the equation is not required.
GZ curves will normally be constructed from KN curves, but trainees should be correct

Figure 1 shows a ship with its centre of gravity, G1, at a distance GG1 horizontally from
centreline. When inclined to an'anqle 8, the righting lever is G1Z1
