the resultant force acting on a floating body

the resultant force on a body due to the fluid surrounding it

equal to the volume of liquid dis-placed

the force necessary to maintain equilibrium of a submerged body

negligible

same as buoyant force

zero

infinite

centroid of the volume of fluid vertically above the body

centre of the volume of floating body

center of gravity of any submerged body

centriod of the displaced volume of fluid

centroid of the displaced volume of fluid

center of pressure of displaced volume

e.g. of floating ′body

does not exist

when its meatcentric height is zero

when the metancentre is above c.g.

when its e.g. is below it′s center of buoyancy

metacentre has nothing to do with position of e.g. for determining stability
