Chapter 24 (KN Curves)

This document contains information about KN curves, which plot the righting arm (GZ) against heel angle, for 5 examples of ships with different displacement and dimensions. For each example, the document provides the displacement, draught, and metacentric height, and calculates the free surface correction to determine the final draught and metacentric height. It then lists the KN curve values of heel angle, righting lever (KN), and righting arm (GZ) to identify features such as the maximum GZ and angle of vanishing stability.
