Center of Gravity

Centre of gravity is the point (G) at which the whole weight of a body can be said to act vertically downwards.
The centre of gravity depends upon weight distribution within the vessel and its position may be found by carrying out an inclining test or by calculation. The position of the centre of gravity (G) is measured vertically from a reference point, usually the keel of the vessel (K). This distance is called KG.
