Metacentric height is a crucial measure of a floating body's stability, such as a ship. It refers to the distance between the center of gravity (G) and the metacentre (M). The magnitude of the righting couple and the calculation methods for metacentric height are discussed in detail. Proper design c

Metacentre is a crucial concept in fluid mechanics, representing the theoretical point where a displaced body intersects lines passing through the centres of buoyancy and gravity. It is essential for analyzing the stability of floating bodies, especially ships. The metacentric height, the distance b
