List-I (Condition)  List-II (Result) A. G is above M 1. Stable equilibrium B. G and M coincide 2. Unstable equilibrium C. G is below M 3. Floating body D. FB ≥ W 4. Neutral equilibrium
The floating body is said to be in unstable equilibrium if the metacentre is below the centre of gravity.
For a floating body to be in stable equilibrium, its metacentre should be
A body floating in a liquid is said to be in neutral equilibrium, if its metacentre
For a floating body to be in a stable equilibrium, where G is the centre of gravity, B is the center of buoyancy and M is the metacentre, which of the following statements is true?
The floating body is said to be in neutraL equilibrium if the metacentre is above the centre of gravity.
The curve of metacentre for a floating body __________ the curve of buoyancy.
If B = centre of buoyancy, G = centre of gravity, B1 = new centre of buoyancy when the floating body rotates by an angle θ, then the location of metacentre will be:
Consider the following statements pertaining to stability of floating bodies: 1) A floating body will be stable when the centre of gravity is above the centre of buoyancy. 2) The positions of metacentres corresponding to different axes of rotation are generally different for the same floating object. 3) For cargo ships, the metacentric height varies with loading. Which of the above statements are correct?
For the conditions of the equilibrium of the body, i.e. the rigid body only the external forces defines the equilibrium. And the support reactions only cancels out the rotation part of the body and thus the potential energy of the body is stored in it.
