New KG after Vertical Weight Shift
KG change when an existing weight is moved vertically - e.g., lowering a lifeboat, moving cargo from under-deck to deck.
New KG
8.2067m
Formula, assumptions, and limits
$$KG_\text{new} = KG_\text{old} + \frac{w \cdot \Delta h}{\Delta}$$
Moving weight up raises KG; moving it down lowers KG. Useful when planning deck-cargo placement or rescue-boat launching.
