4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define the term 'Center of Buoyancy'.
Think about where the upward force is concentrated.
What does 'Metacentric Height' indicate?
Remember the relationship between center of gravity and metacenter.
What happens to an iceberg's center of buoyancy as it melts from below?
Consider how the submerged part decreases.
True or False: A metacentric height above the center of gravity leads to stable floating.
Think about stability in balance.
A cylindrical container filled with liquid is rotating at a uniform rate. If the radius of the container is 2m and the height is 4m, determine the shape of the free surface and the pressure distribution at different heights.
Use the equations for fluid dynamics to derive the relationships.
Analyze a ship with a metacentric height of 1m. If the center of gravity is 0.9m, determine its stability and implications under heavy loading.
Consider how stability changes with load variations.
