If a vessel is trimmed by stern is it deeper in the water aft?

Yes, a vessel trimmed by the stern has a greater draft aft. Trimming by the stern increases stability of the vessel, but increases the turning radius of that vessel. For a given hull shape (form or geometry) and block coefficient, trimming by the stern can have some profound effects on the behavior of the vessel as it comes about, particularly at speed.


How was Noah's ark scientifically a very stable vessel?

The ark's proportions were a length that was six times the width and ten times the height. They would have contributed much to its stability. Also, the weight of its occupants undoubtedly would have been distributed fairly evenly over the whole boat. The boat even may have had a keel, which would have contributed even more to the vessel's stability.


Why do boat owners overload there boat?

Well it depends on what kind of "boat" you are referring to. If it is a recreational boat, then it may be overloaded simply out of ignorance. In larger vessels there are formulas for vessel stability. Different oceans have different salt water content, different wave action and flow patterns. There are guidelines and regulations for the stability of vessels. Larger ships have load lines and "Plimsol" marks to guide the loading of the vessel.

The vessel being "overtaken" is the stand-on vessel. The vessel "overtaking" is the give-way vessel.


What is a metacentric diagram?

A metacentric diagram is a vessel (ship) stability diagram that shows the relative positions above and below the metacenter of the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity, respectively. Use the link to the Wikipedia article to view one and see how it looks. Follow along and see how it works. When a vessel floats in water, its center of gravity is below its center of buoyancy. That allows gravity to pull down on buoyancy from below the bouyancy to pull up on gravity from above (if it is permitted to say it that way). If the center of buoyancy slips below the center of gravity, the vessel will roll over. Visualize that. And the closer the two centers are, the less stable the vessel. That is, the more prone to rollover it is. The "sweet spot" between the centers of buoyancy and gravity is the metacenter. It's important in evaluating a ship's stability.
