Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A boat has a center of gravity 1.5 meters below the waterline and its center of buoyancy is 2 meters below the waterline. Calculate the metacentric height.

💡 Hint: Remember the formula GM = BG when measuring these distances.

Question 2

Design a floating structure that can support a heavier weight while remaining stable. Describe modifications.

💡 Hint: Consider how changing shape and distribution affects buoyancy.
