Question 1

A boat is designed with a center of gravity 1 meter below the waterline. If the metacentric height is calculated to be 0.5 meters, what does this suggest about the boat's stability?

💡 Hint: Visualize the metacenter's position and role in stability.

Question 2

If a submerged object has a volume of 2 cubic meters and the fluid density is 1000 kg/m3, calculate the buoyant force acting on the object.

💡 Hint: Utilize the buoyant force formula you've learned.
