How is the metacentric height, GM expressed?
(a)
(b)
GM = BG -(17 V)
GM = (V/I - BG
(c)
(d)
GM = (1/ V) - BG
GM = BG -( V/I
Where I = Moment of inertia of the plan of the floating body at the water
surface
V = Volume of the body submerged in water
BG = Distance between the centre of gravity (G) and the centre of
buoyancy (B).
