What is Ship Stability: GM and Righting Arm about?
The document discusses ship stability and how the magnitude of GM affects the shape of the righting arm curve. A large positive GM creates a steep slope and a stiff ship that is very stable, while a small positive GM creates a shallow slope and a tender ship that is not very stable. When GM is zero, the ship has neutral stability and will remain at any angle of heel rather than returning to an upright position.
