⚓ Ship Stability Lab: Metacentric Height, Righting Arm Curve and Hull Wave Resistance

Naval architecture of a generic unarmed displacement hull: integrate submerged volume for buoyancy, compute GM = KB + BM - KG and the righting-arm (GZ) curve, shift weights, add a slack tank, wind, turns and beam seas, and see roll period and Froude-number wave resistance. Includes an inclining experiment and a GM sweep checked against the box-barge formula.
