https://youtu.be/kEOWrIFaASs https://youtu.be/IM4HzhwvLDE https://youtu.be/spivBg4KCiI This video contains the effect of a slack tank on a ship's stability. It explains how ships reduce their stability due to partially filled tanks as a result of the virtual loss of Metacentric Height (GM). It includes the calculation of the free surface moment, free surface correction, and applying FSC to determine the fluid GM. Free surface effect refers to the influence of liquids in partially filled tanks or compartments on the stability of a floating vessel, such as a ship or a boat. When a vessel tilts or rolls, the liquid within these partially filled tanks tends to shift, leading to changes in the vessel's center of gravity and buoyancy. #stability #hydrodynamics #maritime #seafarer #seaman #bsmt #maritimestudents #seamanship
