SAILORS TWILIGHT

Angle of loll is a condition which occurs to a ship in its unstable equilibrium. In an unstable equilibrium, the metacentric height(GM) is negative. That is, the position of metacenter is is below the centre of gravity. In this condition, when a shi…

For a body to float the centre of gravity and centre of buoyancy should be equal and opposite and acting on the same vertical line . Depending on the positions of the centre of gravity and the centre of buoyancy the states of equilibrium of a floati…
