A ship of 9900 tones displacement

has KM 7.3 m and KG 6.4 m. A load

of 50 tones is shifted 10 m
Find the final GZ

DYNAMIC STABILITY
The dynamic stability is the area under the curve in metre-radians
Multiplated by the ship,s displacement in tonnes. It is areas under
the GZ
Curve which are required for checking stability criteria which
depending
Upon the ship,s data may be expressed in metre-degrees or
metre-radians.
The area unde GZ curve also the potential energy available to
return the
Ship to the upringht.
Principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy
in converted into
Rotation energy as the ship moves towards the upright.
