Question

If B = centre of buoyancy, G = centre of gravity,  \B_1  = new centre of buoyancy when the floating body rotates by an angle θ, then the location of metacentre will be:

Examsnet · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer is : at the point of intersection of axis of floating body  passing   through B and G and vertical line passing through B1

GM > 0 (Metacentre is above centre of Gravity)	Stable equilibrium
GM = 0 (Metacentre coinciding with centre of Gravity)	Neutral equilibrium
GM < 0 (Metacentre is below centre of Gravity)	Unstable equilibrium
