Wk 3 effect of free surface of liquids
The document discusses the effect of free surfaces of liquids on ship stability and how to correct a ship that is listing due to a negative metacentric height. It explains that a free surface in a partially filled tank causes a virtual rise in the ship's center of gravity, reducing stability. To correct listing, one should first ensure weights are distributed evenly, then top off slack tanks and lower on-board weights if possible. If needed, ballasting double-bottom tanks on the low side one at a time can help, but will initially increase the list before bringing the center of gravity below the metacenter and uprighting the ship.
__ oral _ questions reponses
The master's immediate actions upon the vessel running aground include sounding alarms, stopping engines, accounting for crew, closing watertight doors, activating the ship's pollution plan, and assessing damage with the crew. The master would then report the incident, attempt to refloat the vessel if possible, and communicate details to the owner. Legally, the master should note a protest, possibly sign a salvage contract, and send a detailed report to the owner. Commercially, the master needs to minimize danger and pollution risks while determining if refloating is possible with tides or cargo adjustments.

Sailing
Sailing has been crucial to civilization for thousands of years, dating back to 5500 BC. It provided transportation for travel, trade, fishing and warfare, promoting exploration and international trade. A sailboat uses wind power harnessed by sails such as the mainsail and jib to propel the boat forward. The rudder and keel help steer and stabilize the boat. Adjusting sails allows sailors to optimize speed depending on the wind direction, with tighter sails upwind providing more speed than downwind with sails farther out. Today, sailing continues for transportation in some areas and is enjoyed globally as both a recreational activity and competitive sport.
Florida Kiteboarding
Kitesurfing, also known as kiteboarding, is an extreme water sport where participants use a large kite to pull themselves across water while standing on a small surfboard or kiteboard. A kitesurfer controls their movement using a control bar attached to the kite lines to perform tricks on the water like turns, jumps, grabs and water starts. Lessons are recommended to learn kitesurfing safely under the guidance of an instructor.
