Water Vehicles stability and Metacentre

TRANSVERSE STABILITYWhen a vessel isfloating upright(at equilibrium)in still water, thecentre of buoyancy(upthrust) and thecentre of gravity(downthrust) willbe on the same line,vertically abovethe keel (K).If the vessel is inclined by an external force(i.e. without moving internal weight)...
