006.SHIP STABILIZATION

Principle of stabilization.

We know the basic functions of trigonometry, the terminology used for whip stability, the effects of buoyancy and gravity and gravity on ship stability, and the effects of weight shifts on ship stability.


To comprehend the principles of ship stability fully, you must have a basic understanding of Trigonometry and the functions of right triangles. Generally speaking, the weight of a ship in the water is” pushing” straight down, and the seawater that it displaces is “pushing” straight back up. When no other forces are acting on the ship, all these forces cancel each other out and equilibrium exists. However, when the center of gravity moves from directly above the center of buoyancy, there is an “inclining moment.” When this occurs, this force is considered to be at right angles to the forces of gravity and buoyancy. An understanding of trigonometry is required to understand the effects and results of these actions.
