Question : 171 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

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:

in between point B and $\B_1$
at the point of intersection of axis of floating body passing through B and G and vertical line passing through $\B_1$
at the point of intersection of axis of floating body passing through B and G and horizontal line passing through $\B_1$
same as $\B_1$

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
