The upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object submerged in it.
A measure of the initial stability of a floating body. It is defined as the distance between the center of gravity and the metacenter.
A principle stating that a body immersed in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that body.
The rate of change of pressure in a fluid with respect to distance, often causing movement within the fluid.
