Correction for the formula that I've shown:
Righting Lever (GZ) = GM x Sine0 ( Angle of Heel)
Righting Moment (RM) = GZ x Displacement

This animated video explains initial metacentric height, center of gravity, and buoyancy. It also shows how the ship floats and the three conditions of the ship's equilibrium. How the righting lever and righting moment were created, and how the angle of the loll formed.
The metacentric height (GM) of a ship is a crucial parameter that determines its stability characteristics, particularly its resistance to rolling motions in response to external forces such as waves, wind, and cargo shifting. It is a measure of the distance between the center of gravity (G) of a ship and its metacenter (M).
