The point ' M ' at which the line of action of the new buoyant force intersects the original vertical through the CG of the body, is called the meta-centre. It is a point about which a floating body starts oscillating when given a small angular displacement.
|
GM > 0 (Metacentre is above centre of Gravity) |
Stable equilibrium |
|
GM = 0 (Metacentre coinciding with centre of Gravity) |
Neutral equilibrium |
|
GM < 0 (Metacentre is below centre of Gravity) |
Unstable equilibrium |
