[amp_mcq option1=”the meta-center should lie above the center of gravity” option2=”the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity must lie on the same vertical line” option3=”a righting couple should be formed” option4=”all the above are correct” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is D. all the above are correct.<\/p>\n

A floating body is in stable equilibrium when it returns to its original position after being disturbed. The three conditions for the stable equilibrium of a floating body are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The meta-center should lie above the center of gravity.<\/li>\n
  2. The center of buoyancy and the center of gravity must lie on the same vertical line.<\/li>\n
  3. A righting couple should be formed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The meta-center is the point where the vertical line through the center of buoyancy intersects the line of action of the buoyant force. The center of buoyancy is the point where the buoyant force acts. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the body acts.<\/p>\n

    If the meta-center lies above the center of gravity, then a righting couple is formed when the body is disturbed. This righting couple will tend to return the body to its original position.<\/p>\n

    If the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity do not lie on the same vertical line, then a rolling moment will be created when the body is disturbed. This rolling moment will tend to cause the body to roll.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, all three conditions must be met for a floating body to be in stable equilibrium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
