Inclining Experiment — Finding Light Ship KG & GM | Chief Mate / Stability

Inclining Experiment — Finding Light Ship KG & GM | Chief Mate / Stability 📝 This video gives a clear, exam-oriented explanation of the *Inclining Experiment* — the test used to determine a ship’s *light ship KG* and **initial stability (GM)**. You’ll learn the principle, the formula, how measurements are taken, regulatory requirements, and how to solve numericals exactly like MMD exam questions. 📘 What You’ll Learn • Why the inclining experiment is carried out • Meaning of light ship KG • Principle — shifting a known weight transversely • Pendulum method for accurate list measurement • GM (fluid) vs GM (solid) and free-surface correction • Using KM to finally calculate light ship KG • Full derivation of the Inclining Experiment formula • Why deflection and pendulum length must match units • Mandatory inclining rules & exemptions • Sister-ship inclining & re-inclining requirements • Preparations before testing • How the experiment is actually conducted onboard • Worked numerical example — step by step Clear logic → strong stability foundation → confident exam answers. 🌐 Connect with Sailor Rider YouTube:    / @sailor_rider   Facebook:   / 19imzynlrp   Instagram: https://instagram.com/sailor_rider?ig...
