Stability
- 1. Stability of Floating Bodies 1. A rectangular raft 10 m wide, 15 m length, and 5 m in height has a draft of 2.6 m. If the center of gravity of the raft is 3 m above the bottom of the raft, find (a) the initial metacentric height. (b) Determine the sidewise shifting of the center of buoyancy and the final metacentric height if the raft is tilted until its opposite end is just submerged in water.
