Question 5. Reserve buoyancy is _______________.:

also called GM
the void portion of the ship below the waterline which is enclosed and watertight
affected by the number of transverse watertight bulkheads
the watertight portion of a vessel above the waterline

Question 6. The distance between the waterline of a vessel and the main deck is called _________________.:

draft
