State the conditions which govern the stability of a floating vessel A buoy carries a light and has a cylindrical upper portion of 2.1m diameter and 1.2m deep. The lower portion which is curved displaces a volume of 0.396m³ and its centre of buoyancy is situated 1.28m below the top of the cylinder. The centre of gravity is situated 0.9m below the top of the cylinder and the total displacement is 2.6 metric tons. Find the metacentric height. (Density of sea water-1025kgm ³)
