About this document
Buoyancy and Stability Principles by andreina is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses buoyancy, flotation, and stability of submerged or floating bodies. It makes three key points: 1. The buoyant force on a submerged body is equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This force passes through the centroid of the displaced fluid volume. 2. For stability, a submerged or floating body must have its center of gravity below the center of buoyancy. If the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy, the body will be unstable. 3.
